MT. JULIET, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Mt. Juliet community has found a new way to remember the life of 7-year-old Rowan Frensley, who was killed when he was hit by a trailer after the city's Christmas parade.
Several communities across the country have created a social media movement that encourages people to paint rocks and hide them for others to find. Now, Mt. Juliet is taking it a step further to honor the young boy.
Community members are asking people to paint rocks with the hashtag #RowanRocks912 and hide them. Rowan was a Boy Scout and 912 represents his scout pack number.
When someone finds a rock, they're encouraged to perform an act of kindness in Rowan's memory and post a picture to social media.
Organizers hope to spread the kindness past Mt. Juliet.

Rowan died on December 14 as the Mt. Juliet Christmas parade was wrapping up. As participants were unloading from the floats, he was accidentally run over by a trailer.
A Facebook group for the pictures called "Rowan Rocks 912" has already been created. The organizer has suggested some locations to hide the rocks, such as school, work or the park.
