Spencer, an 8-year-old student at Buckland Mills Elementary School near Gainesville, died along with his grandmother, Lori Matthews, at 8:20 a.m. Saturday in a crash on Vint Hill Road near Kennedy Road in Fauquier County.

Buckland Mills Principal Connie Balkcom said that she, and staff, have fond memories of Spencer.
“He touched the hearts of everyone who knew him,” Balkcom said.  “He was one of those students that you will always remember.”

Balkcom said that she has talked with Spencer’s parents since the fatal crash.

She said they are both thankful for the outpouring of support from the community following their son’s death.
“Reign’s mother appreciates the fact that everyone loved him,” Balkcom said.  “I think that says it all.”
Balkcom said that school administration acknowledged that the beginning of the school year needed to be as positive as possible and said students have been upbeat.

But they are “holding onto the good memories of Reign in [their] hearts,” she said.
