Literally the only famous person from my small town of 15-30 people.

Tragically he died this weekend in a single car rollover.

ETA: after looking up the Wikipedia for my hometown apparently this lady is from Wall, TX as well.

No one from my hometown has become famous yet. If you knew my hometown, you would know positively that I'm not lying.
