\"My relationship with God has strengthened so much already throughout this along with my family’s. I have come to see a whole new view on life, in such a good way,\" Beathard said.
He ended his post by urging others \"to make sure you tell everyone you love that you love them as much as you can, because you have absolutely no idea when the last time you may talk to or see them again will be.\"
The prime suspect in the stabbings, Michael Mosley, 23, was captured Wednesday at a vacant home in Ashland City, Tennessee, following a days-long manhunt.

Mosley's attorney, Justin Johnson, says his client acted in self defense, reported The Tennessean.
He's set to appear in court on Jan. 7.
Clayton Beathard's father, Casey Beathard, told ABC News on Friday: \"We are thankful that [Mosley] is off of the streets. We are sad because two incredible young men are missed.\"
ABC News' Bill Hutchinson contributed to this report.
