Inside 111 Perry Street in Struthers - the lights are on.
Outside - an ever-growing memorial for a precious young life cut tragically short there.

"It's just heartbreaking," says neighbor Kathy Mihaly.

Among the stuffed animals, candles and trinkets left on the steps for four year old Rowan Sweeney - a bundle of balloons left by Mihaly and her husband.

"I never dreamed this could happen anywhere in Struthers," she said. "You feel like you want to do something, you know, for the family, what can you do?" 

Kathy says several of her grandkids are related to Rowan's dad, David; the violence hitting too close to home.

"This shows Dave that we support him, we're thinking of him, we feel the loss," Mihaly said.

Her neighbors are also grappling with Rowan's death - moved to make their own contributions to his memorial - a guardian angel watching over it all.

"I've got six kids myself," said Conovas Crawford. "You know, it's scary, that doesn't happen around here like that."

But that fear isn't stopping Struthers - with Rowan's memory permeating every corner of the city.

"Soon as I found out about Rowan's death on Monday, I wanted to turn Struthers red," says John McCoy. Thanks to him and some helpful volunteers - even the bridge heading into the heart of Struthers will show the world what Rowan meant to everyone who lives there.

"Lights are changing here in Struthers and then I got together with a few other people and we're decorating downtown Struthers in honor of Rowan," said McCoy.

A fitting tribute for a young boy who lit up so many lives.
