Michael 'Connor' Verkerke was fatally stabbed while playing in a Michigan playground on Monday

He spent his dying breaths telling his brother he loved him and re-assuring him that the shocking attack wasn't his fault

 Connor was playing with two of his brothers when another boy, Jamarion Lawhorn, 12, who pulled out a knife and repeatedly stabbed him

 The boy's great-uncle Jim Stearns said the horrific incident had left the family 'absolutely numb'

 About 100 people gathered at the scene of the crime on Wednesday night for a candlelight vigil to celebrate Connor's memory

 The community has started a Go Fund Me site to help pay for Conner's funeral expenses

    1. No problem here, but it wasn't his fault, it was the fact his ancestors were slaves and even worse off now..........

  3. Another example of what happens when boys are raised WITHOUT their fathers around. And by father, I mean being more than a sperm donor, but activity involved in the life, raising, care, teaching, and influencing they young male child.
    I'd also be willing to bet the pay check that, that little murdering monster, never saw the inside of a church. And because he is a minor, he will get away with murder. I have this gut feeling that he will always be a murdering monster.

      Certainly a reason, among many I imagine.
