Family and friends remember the victim of a deadly shooting from last week.
A softball game and balloon release were held in memory of Tyler Walk Sunday in Marinette.
Authorities say he was killed by a 76-year-old man on Monday in the town of Pound.
Officials say Walk saw the man outside his aunt and uncle's cabin and called 9-1-1.
The call was lost and authorities found walk 15 minutes later in a truck that crashed into a house with a gunshot wound.
At?Sunday's memorial,?a friend who says he talked with Walk shortly before the?911 call remembered him as kind.
"Just 15 minutes prior to the shooting, to the 911 call, he called me, called me on my cell phone just to congratulate me on beating Colb," says?friend Tom?Mailand.?"We beat the first place team and it put us into a tie with them -- this is our girls' 14-youth team and that's just the way he was."
Everyone was also invited to write a personal message on a balloon for Walk.
The balloons were then released before the game at the short stop position, where he used to play.
Walk's nephew threw out the first pitch, in memory of an uncle that friends say was a big part of his life.
A memorial fund for Walk is set up at Stephenson National Bank and Trust in Marinette.
