Students, parents and staff remembered Adrian Lavaughn Brewster, 50, at Etowah High School Thursday, according to the Cherokee Tribune. More than 100 attended the memorial, the paper reported Friday.
Brewster and his wife were found dead when deputies went to the couple’s home in Cumming around 3:45 a.m. Monday.
