“It was heartbreaking because cancer, when you hear that it’s like the end of the world,” Triston says“I literally about threw up and I broke down crying,” says Kris Cavazos, Navarro’s head baseball coach. “It broke my heart for him. I can’t stand to see him in pain,” says Amber Brashears. “It truly crushed me. So I stayed in the hospital with him and at home with him. I smothered him with attention and love.”
