Omg i used to make fun of him.
when i heard about his death i cried for ever.
Im so sorry for everything i ever did.
I know it doesnt mean much now.
But if i could i would go back and make sure i never did anything to him.
I am so sorry.
And i feel for his family.
He didnt deserve anything.
Exspecially not death.

More details about this case from today’s Grand Junction Press:

Allen Grabe shot his son in the face as the boy slept in his bed late last Thursday, according to allegations in an arrest warrant affidavit.

“I had to kill him because you were ruining him,” Allen Grabe allegedly told his wife, Jaquette, according to an arrest affidavit.

Allen Grabe, 51, was formally charged with first-degree murder and child abuse resulting in death, in the shooting death of 13-year-old Jacob Grabe at the family’s Pear Park home.

Jaquette Grabe had noted “’some financial pressures’” recently.
