The procession of over 200 trucks in central Missouri was not a political statement but a special farewell to 13-year-old Dalton Frank who took his own life this month following a bullying incident.
Unless you saw the coffin on the flatbed trailer in the lead, you might have thought the convoy of more than 200 trucks in central Missouri on Monday was a political statement of some kind.
“This is just about a 13-year-old boy who was bullied,” Carey told The Daily Beast “It has nothing to do with politics at all.”If you or a loved one are struggling with suicidal thoughts, please reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK , or contact the Crisis Text Line by texting TALK to 741741
“He said, ‘I’d like to start my own little business,’” Carey remembered. “He was quite the entrepreneur. A very hard worker.” “My grandson 13 Dalton Frank was bullied and slapped at school and went home to take his own life,” the grandmother wrote. “The school failed this wonderful young man. RIP Dalton.”
“By Tuesday night, I already had, you know, 30 to 40 trucks, not including my own,” he recalled. “And so I knew it was going to be pretty good.” After the funeral on Monday, more than 200 trucks were lined up in preparation for what was termed a “truckers’ tribute”—escorting Dalton’s remains for burial at Hawthorn Memorial Gardens in Jefferson City. The procession was in a state of deep grief as the coffin was set upon the back of his uncle’s flatbed.
