SNOHOMISH COUNTY, Wash. — "He was sweet, you know, he was the sweetest, funniest guy. Just goofy," said mother Alyssa Eman. 

On Nov. 14, Eman said she didn't hear her son running down the stairs in the morning like usual, so she went to get him up for school.

"His back was to me, so I didn't really see anything right away. So I said, 'Donevan what is your problem? Why are you ignoring me?'" said Eman. 

But she couldn't wake her 16-year-old, "There was no movement, and I started to feel his face and he was really cold."
