[...] Sometimes, we pay attention to the wrong people. A true hero walks down a street in his hometown but nobody recognizes him because he’s not loud or crass, because he hasn’t danced with the stars, because he doesn’t move through life like a human spotlight. [...]

Mr. Schultz…a comment for Steve on the crime in Atlanta…I live on an island that is 3 miles wide and 16 miles long. It is a mean place…everywhere. I feel safer in Atlanta than I do on Amelia Island. Mr. Forrest was trying to protect himself and godson…get back what was taken from him. Only a coward would shoot someone in the back that many times. That is why I carry a 9 mm everywhere I go…even on sweet little “safe” Amelia Island. I would move back home in a heartbeat! RIP Mr. Forrest

Good morning Mr. Schultz…well written Mr. Schultz. I live in Florida, but read the AJC on line. I am from Atlanta and this story broke my heart. I would like to pay my respects to his grave….when I get to come home. Do you, by chance know where his family is laying him to rest? Such a sad, sad ending to a fine young man. My heart and prayers go out to his family. Thank you Mr. Schultz. Dollene Davidson Amelia Island, Florida

Nice tribute for The Viper. I believe had it not been for food poisoning at the Olympics and later shoulder problems, he may have been one of the greatest boxers of all time. Awesome against Mosely but your article lets us know he was even greater outside the ring. Thanks.

Nice tribute, and well deserved. Your headline says it all, but your column drives it home.

Authorities say they might be closing in on a suspect. We can only hope the creeps are brought to justice.

I remember when he went pro. He was always a “class act”. It’s a shame, and I hope the guilty parties get the max punishment. Society is to forgiving these days.
