When Gavin Aubert was planning to drop out of Auburn Senior High School to work, his best friend, Dwight A. Clark, pushed him to stay.

If he left high school, Clark told Aubert, “‘Your life would be over.’”

“He pretty much carried me on his shoulders,” driving Aubert to classes so they could graduate together in June, Aubert said.

But now, Clark’s life is over.
