There are also families who know in Wisconsin, California and Pennsylvania, who bear this pain silently. And sadly there are potentially hundreds more families who are bereaved by the Choking Game. Please keep them all in your thoughts as they feel the heartache and hopefully the warmth of memories and family around them. And if you feel compelled, leave a comment below.
As you gather your own family together, please take time to remember how precious the moment is. And please take the opportunity to speak with your family, extended relatives, and particularly the tweens and teens you know about the dangers of the Choking Game. Many of the parents, whose children's names are above, wish they had that chance.

As a person who lost one of the people listed above (Blake Edward Conant), I just want to thank you for keeping the importance of the matter alive! It's hard enough to lose someone that you loved so suddenly but to know that it could happen to someone else is just as hard. Thank you!!
