It is the second time in a month a Horn High School in Mesquite is mourning the loss of one their own.
Senior Sigfrid Credo died in a car crash in West Texas on Monday. Four other students were injured in the crash, including Credo’s twin brother Roald Credo.
Wednesday morning, students gathered at the flagpole to remember him.
They were supposed to leave their prayers at the pole, but many students and teachers brought questions about the tragedy that will probably never be answered.
"With grief it's hard to justify what you're actually losing until you look up one day and realize, I can't call his name anymore," said Brandon Goodman, Horn High School teacher.
Credo, his brother and three others were coming back from Texas Tech University where he was hoping to attend college after graduation.
Texas Department of Public Safety officials said the driver of the car overcorrected and the car flipped over. Sigfrid Credo was thrown out.
