Friend mourns deacon killed in Buffalo mass shooting

A friend mourned a deacon who was killed in the Buffalo mass shooting.
Deacon Heyward Patterson was one of the victims of the mass shooting at Tops Supermarket.
Deacon Heyward "Tenny" Patterson was a man of the community. He was known for his service in the Church and for helping others.
Leonard Lane spoke with Emma Henderson of our sister station WKYC about Patterson. Lane said Patterson would often drive other people to the grocery store who couldn't walk there.
"A lot of them don't have cars, no buses. He's just taking them home back and forth. He had a family, has a beautiful son, and they snatched him from them," Lane said. "He loved his children, any man can see. And he loved God, that's all that he wanted to do, help people."
