Article Text:

The death of Damageplan guitarist Darrell Abbott was a tragedy -- but so was Kent Schnable's. Abbott was killed by a gunman while on stage, and Kent was killed in a road-rage incident. (See Dec. 3 news story.) Abbott and Schnable knew each other. How? We all went to school together! I knew Darrell from third through 11th grade, and I played football with Kent at Gunn Junior High in Arlington. Kent and Darrell had classes together at Gunn. Darrell was a great guitarist back in sixth grade, and I knew he would make it. But he wasn't the only great musician from our class. Jeff Huskins, formerly of the group Little Texas, is a great country fiddle player. Darrell and Kent's deaths were senseless tragedies. In times like this, it's clearly a great comfort to have a Savior to lean on!
