WILSON, N.C. — The North Carolina 5-year-old fatally shot while playing in his front yard carried a big smile and a big heart, the boy's grandfather recalled at his funeral. “Cannon was the type of kid that was always polite, kind of laid back, but he was a beautiful little kid,” Race said, according to WRAL-TV. Cannon’s youth pastor, Daryl High, said the boy was always a joy in Sunday school. You could not help to be changed when you met Cannon. If a word wasn’t said, you can’t help to be changed,” High said.
