Ashton had a lot of talents when I knew him in high school. He was skilled with snakes, whether poisonous or harmless, he could find them and handle them with his hands. He was getting into photography for a little bit. He knew a great deal about nature and different herbs and mushrooms that could be used for medicinal properties. He could ride a wheelie on a bicycle for many many miles without stopping. He could run up to a tree or a wall and do a backflip off of it. He was kind and compassionate. I never knew him to do any wrong. He was a one of a kind friend and he will be missed.
