It was hard at first, but it got way better," he said. "He was very funny, very funny. (He had) a smile that would brighten the room. He could find the bright in any dark situation."Mayor Brandon Scott, City Council President Nick Mosby, and Baltimore City State's Attorney Ivan Bates sent resolutions and condolences to the family.City leaders and police said they have met with Patterson students several times to talk about plans to keep them safe and prevent violence.
