SPRINGVILLE - This Thursday will be the one-year anniversary of 17-year-old Brady Conger's death in a Utah County traffic accident. Thanks to friends and wellwishers, his tombstone will be back in time for the event.

Brady's tombstone was recently repossessed and uprooted.

Fox 13 News reports that Brady's father, Rory, says the tombstone was repossessed after the Congers failed to pay off a $700 balance on the marker.

Rory Conger says a $450 deposit was paid on the tombstone, but medical and financial challenges - and the distractions of grief - left the remainder upaid.

Cory's friend, Shelby Tripp, started a fundraising campaign to pay off $700 remaining on the tombstone - and the marker is expected to be back in place by tomorrow.
