Death of a 19 Year Old

I did not know him, but my sister was friends with him.
I had before met him, and I knew his sister a bit.
Tonight was the viewing.

He was hiking in a place I've been so many times before,
Even when I was a small child.
But he and his friends left the path,
And he fell. 60 feet.

I feel sad for the parents, the sister, and the friends.
For my sister, for mutual friends.
And even as I personally do not closely grieve,
I think of how it wasn't supposed to end this way.
