Son Dies Suddenly, Then Grieving Dad Looks Closer At The Photo Taken On The Day He Died

Do you believe in angels?

On November 7, 2009, Doug Luaders was set to coach a JCYA youth football game in Fenton, Missouri. That very same day, a photo was taken on the field showing two smiling boys celebrating their win. But the disposable camera also seemed to capture a white shadowy figure floating right alongside the beaming boys.

When Doug saw the photo, he was completely blown away. You see, Doug’s 20-year-old son was supposed to be his assistant coach that day. But on his way to the game, Kyle died in a horrible car crash after his vehicle collided with a semi-truck.

The mysterious photo became public. Doug, and many others in their community and beyond, believe the white angelic figure was Kyle, who was on his way to the very football field where the picture was taken.

“Looks like he made the game,” Doug said.
