On July 3, 2010, two best friends, Darrin Elwood and Tyler Blais, were on their way home to Salt Lake City from a road trip in Southern Utah and Arizona. At 5:45 a.m., Tyler was asleep in passenger seat and Darrin was driving. He fell asleep at the wheel and crashed into the guard rail on the side of the road. The guard rail impaled the car, killing both 17-year old boys. The deaths have devastated not only their families, but their friends and just about anyone who had ever come into contact with either boy, as they were both such positive parts of everyones lives.

The families cannot afford the expenses of the funerals. Though many have donated and raised money by selling keychains and tshirts, it’s nowhere near enough to pay for the funerals, which cost $11,000 each on average. On Wednesday, July 7th, two girls (who were good friends with Tyler and Darrin) and I attended The Wonder Years show in SLC. Tyler had been a big fan of TWY, and had planned on going to that very show. After the show, we went and talked to The Wonder Years, and the accident and loss of Darrin and Tyler came up. Soupy of TWY immediately got on the phone, called his manager, and had him dig up some rare vinyls for them to sign and auction off to help pay for the funerals of these young, drug free musicians who had their lives taken away from them far too soon.

These vinyls are super rare, and will be signed by all of the members of The Wonder Years. On top of that, every cent of the proceeds go to the families of the deceased to help them pay for the expenses.
