Thirteen-year-old Carl Junction Junior High School student John Wheeler (pictured) drowned in a flash flooding incident in Joplin. His obituary was the most visited post on Inside Joplin Obituaries.
The five most visited posts on the Turner Report all involved the deaths of young people.
Four of the posts involve the death of Joplin High School sophomore football player Kadin-Roberts Day this week during practice.
The most visited post this week actually comes from September 7, 2017, when I wrote a personal post about the death 40 years earlier of 20-year-old Missouri Southern student and East Newton High School graduate Barbara McNeely.
The post began circulating Friday and I reposted it on Facebook earlier this evening.
