Source: In the past several days, Brian Clarke Sr. was put into the worst scenario any father can face. Around 10 p.m. Wednesday, his oldest child, Brian Jr., was struck by a car while riding his bike on Township Line Road. “I saw the vehicle that hit him and I saw the damage,” Brian Sr. said. “I knew he was pretty much not going to recover.” Brian Sr. said Friday evening that his 16-year-old son has no brain activity and will likely die Saturday. “He was non-responsive,” after the accident, Brian Sr. said. “He got hit 10 feet away from my front driveway.” Friday night, four of Brian Jr.’s closest friends gathered at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. Clarke Sr. said two of his son’s friends from his childhood in New Jersey also turned up to be with him in what are expected to be his last hours. “We’ve gotten a lot of support from friends and Brian’s coaches,” Brian Sr. said. Coaches from Brian’s beginnings as a football player have made contact with the family, including some from Spring-Ford Area High School, where Brian Jr. was expected to play on varsity next year as a junior. Though he used to play running back, Brian Jr. evolved into a solid linebacker for Spring-Ford’s junior varsity team this past season. Friends and teammates weighed in on Twitter over the past several days, using the #bc44 hash tag, which combined the young man’s initials and the jersey number he wore. Many sent out prayers and expressed their support for someone they called “outgoing” and who was “always with a smile on his face.” “I (would) rather lose a million games than one teammate, friend, brother,” Andrew Scanlan, Spring-Ford’s star wide receiver headed to Northwestern University, tweeted. “All the support that everyone has shown for Brian and his family is honestly breathtaking,” Zac DeMedio tweeted. In addition to his father, Brian Jr. will likely leave behind his mother Kathleen and his younger brother, 12-year-old Aidan. “They were really tight,” Brian Sr. said. “They were friends.” Brian Sr. said his two sons liked to ride snowmobiles together at a place the family has in New York. Aidan played football as well and got pointers from his older brother, Brian Sr. said. Although Aidan is big for his age and thus a different kind of player, his older brother still had meaningful tips for him. Several times Friday evening, Brian Sr. repeated one phrase, something that seemed to shine through in the #bc44 tweets. “He’s a good kid,” he said, adding that his son will be an organ donor.
