MONTEREY &8212; This community is mourning the loss of its second teen in less than two months, this time as the result of a four-wheeler accident.

Kane Fancher, 14, died Sunday at an Alexandria hospital from injuries sustained Friday in an accident near the Black River levee.

Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. today at Fancher&8217;s church, Eva Church of God. Burial will follow at Lick Skillet Cemetery in Eva under the direction of Young&8217;s Funeral Home.

A member of Monterey&8217;s junior high basketball team, Fancher also loved hunting, fishing and everything about the outdoors.

&8220;He was all boy,&8221; said family friend Brad Lipsey, now principal of Ridgecrest Elementary, who once coached Fancher in basketball.

&8220;He was very likable and was a hard-working boy. He was always fixing and working on things. He had determination.&8221;

Sarah Perry, a close family friend who Fancher called &8220;aunt,&8221; agreed wholeheartedly with the &8220;all boy&8221; description.

&8220;He loved to race go-carts and used to go out and hunt snakes and come back with a bucket full. And he loved to work on things. &8230; His little hands looked like mechanics&8217; hands.&8221;

But despite such pastimes, Fancher was raised to be polite and show his love for others, Perry said.

&8220;He was the most polite, the kindest child, always wanting to help someone else,&8221; Perry said.

&8220;And he&8217;d always show affection for you, didn&8217;t matter where you were. Any time he&8217;d come through the house, he&8217;d give me a kiss and say, &8216;I love you, Aunt Sarah.&8217;&8221;

Of Kane and his brother, Landon Cole Fancher, Perry added, &8220;they were raised to be loving kids.&8221;

One thing about Fancher, Lipsey said &8212; &8220;he had a great family, and he was well loved.&8221;

That philosophy of loving others carried over to school, Monterey Principal Neeva Sibley said.

&8220;He would stand up for his friends,&8221; Sibley recalled. &8220;He would always take up for the underdog.&8221;

Fancher&8217;s death comes on the heels of the Nov. 7 death of Jordan Tiffee, a Monterey High School junior who died from injuries sustained when his truck hit a tree off Louisiana 129.

Sibley still doesn&8217;t know, with school being out for the holidays, what Monterey School will do to as a memorial for Fancher.

Right now, it seems, Monterey is just trying to process the loss.

&8220;I&8217;ve been here (as principal) nine years, and we&8217;ve had at least eight or nine deaths, mostly traffic or four-wheeler accidents,&8221; Sibley said. &8220;Our little community&8217;s been hit hard.&8221;
