"I think in this life, everyone has demons in the closet," Meier said. "Everyone has bad things that happen But we realize in these moments, as horrible as they are, losing your things in a fire, they're replaceable, but losing someone who was like an older brother, can't replace that. He's somebody I'll be be chasing to live like he did. As a teenager it was tough, but you learn about life and how every day you have to give it your all."
