Just as he was about to leave his room, a 70 +/- year huge pine tree fell on his room and killed him,” Zeanah wrote. “Everyone is devastated! Emonee doesn’t have money to get his body sent from Moultrie to a town in south Florida to be buried by his grandmother.”
Razz was the only fatality from the storm in Georgia.
