R.I.P TANNER CHAMBERLAIN
"Here rests a great soul, a man who moved forward throughout his eventful life and affected the lives and minds of many people."
Tanner, 15, wrote those words about himself around a month ago when he composed a self-eulogy in a Chaparral High School creative writing class. His teacher, David Winkler, read those words at Chamberlain's funeral.
The kid was considered a multi-faceted person who loved Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" and Ayn Rand, martial arts, nature and writing poetry, the Rev. Mary Bredlau said during his funeral.
He was a yellow belt, who trained jiu-jitsu for almost a year at Team Mica & Cascao. Chamberlain died on Sept. 29 in an officer-involved shooting outside his apartment.
