Father Of Drunk Driving Victim Tells Marlins Statue Of Jose Fernandez Is A Bad Idea

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Robert Boos’ life will never be the same. His son Kevin, from Tamarac, died at the hands of a suspected drunk driver in Tallahassee in September 2015.

“The moment you see your child in a casket your life is different and it’s over,” Boos told CBS4’s Carey Codd.

Killed along with Kevin Boos, 22, were two of his friends from Broward County, Vincenzo Libio, 22, and Morgan Carr, 21.

Robert Boos’ suffering prompted him to write a letter to Miami Marlins President David Samson about owner Jeffrey Loria’s decision to build a large statue to Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez outside Marlins Park.
