The brother and sister of a 21-year-old Gates County man, crushed to death by a tree during a storm, are speaking out.

Anthony Walker, Jr. was driving along Middle Swamp Road during Tuesday's rough weather.

Part of a tree ended up right in the middle of his car, killing him.

His brother and sister tell NewsChannel 3 - they are trying to cope with the loss of the man they love, and now miss dearly.

Anthony was just a few weeks away from his 22nd birthday. Now his family has the difficult task of planning a funeral.
