A 19-year-old died in a devastating home explosion in Elk Ridge Thursday night, and the community is grappling with that loss.
The Utah County Sheriff’s Office identified him as Eric Ammon Cheney. The cause of the explosion is still under investigation, but investigators believe it was an accident.“Everyone’s doing okay, but emotions are close to the surface,” said Scott Stratton, a counselor in the bishopric in that neighborhood. “We have a wonderful tight-knit community up here. Everyone really watches out for each other.”“This family is just wonderful. The young man who passed away is an absolute wonderful young man.
White ribbons and bands are tied to trees and poles across the neighborhood to show the family that they are not alone during this tragedy, and that they are supported and loved. Volunteers cleaned up the area around the home, boarded up the garage, and even helped with the landscaping. “We’re trying to do everything we can to make the family comfortable and make it so that they can grieve the loss of a loved one.”“You never know what’s going to happen today, what’s going to happen tomorrow. Treat everybody like it’s, like you might not see them again.”
