From time to time, friends of a popular young man killed when his motorcycle struck a deer on a country road just outside Ontonagon in upper Michigan gather at the spot where he died to toast his memory with a few brews and hang familiar baubles to leaven the boredom of eternity. The site feels hallowed, like a private cemetery.
