LANESBORO — About 300 people gathered at a candlelight vigil to remember a 10-year-old boy who was killed in a weekend ATV accident.

Family, friends and community members remembered Hunter Bergo as a character in his fourth-grade classroom at Lanesboro Elementary School. He was also remembered for having a heart of gold.

Authorities have released few details about the Saturday accident. Family friend Nick Bakke says Hunter was making a routine trip on the large ATV to drop off egg cartons at a neighbor’s house.
