Funeral services for Clinten Ajit were held in New Jersey Monday. The New Milford senior drowned Friday, apparently while trying to retrieve a soccer ball for kids playing nearby.
Derick Waller reports the structural remains of the gutted two-story home are expected to be demolished later Monday.
"My brother and I had a bond that was unbreakable, and that bond is still there," his brother Chris said during the service."My brother was someone who was quiet but had so much energy inside of him." The somber service brought out family members, friends, and members of the church where Ajit worshipped.
"It's a heartbreaking experience, and I don't have any words to console you all," the celebrant said."God can only give peace in your mind.""There's no words that can describe the pain that this family has gone through right now," New Milford Mayor Michael Putrino said."Our hearts are broken, our community, our thoughts and prayers are with the family and also the siblings in school district. So our town will be praying for that family.
