In the same heartbreaking Facebook post, Charles also had a special request for everyone who came across his Facebook post. While acknowledging the messages and tributes pouring in for CJ, he asked everyone to reach out to the Wakulla County Commissioner’s Office through calls and texts, requesting the authorities to put up warning lights and multiple signs on either side of the curve where his son lost his life.
“So I ask this: flood the county commissioners with calls and texts to install warning lights and many signs on both sides of that curve on Rehwinkel. CJ’s wreck was in the same spot as the last wreck there. The bushes hadn’t even grown back. That is what I ask for in memory of my son CJ. Please help me out. Thank you all.
