''Stephen'' (05.14.2012)

'Hi everyone, I wanted to take this time to explain this special WOD that [we] put together for Monday, May 14 2012.
Stephen Perez Jr. was my best friend who recently passed away... and by passed away I mean he was shot and murdered in the Theater District of Boston.
He was an Army Sniper Veteran who served two tours over in Iraq and Afghanistan, one of which was voluntary. He was a hero, a brother, a son, and a CrossFitter and now my angel. He truly played [the hand] he was dealt to the fullest, always larger than the sea and darker than the sand.
Stephen had originally introduced CrossFit to me, he had such a passion for it; before he had passed his 1RM back squat was 505. 
I feel that rallying everyone together to do a WOD put together of a few of his favorite things is the best way to pay my tribute to him. He fought for all of us and I just wanted to dedicate a WOD in his honor. Hope you can all make it out Monday to make this WOD happen, I know he will be smiling down and be so happy and proud of all of us. Thanks, CrossFit Family!'
--Kaitlin Boland, Stephen's best friend and fellow CrossFitter
