Austin Peyton Davis
Age 17
Manchester, Tennessee
An accident that took his life
He became predictable in his three years at Coffee County Central High School in Manchester, Tennessee. Every morning, he drove his truck to school. Every year, he attended the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival.
Known as “Boo Boo,” he spent time playing basketball, fishing and horseback riding. His family and friends never expected that he’d miss the next lineup of singers and comedians at the festival, much less his high school graduation.
That school let out early on August 31, 2018, was not the most surprising thing to happen that day. Austin Peyton Davis, 17, died after playing with a gun and accidentally shooting himself.
