Death of Ok State Omega Psi Phi brother.

(This information has been circulating within our Frat circles this week. I ask for prayers for the brother and his family.)

Engineering major Vernon Grant, a safety on the Oklahoma State Univ. football team and member of Omega Lambda Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.. was recently killed in an auto accident in his hometown of Duncan,TX. The following link is an article on Bro . Grant. <http://www.sportsline.com/collegefootball/story/8500057>

I also read about his leadership on the team and in the community.

I'll say a prayer for him tonight.

Unhappy

I had read about the accident earlier but didn't know he was an Omega.

My deepest condolences to his family, friends, everyone at OSU and his brothers.

There were over 2000 guests at his funeral.

There is a trust fund set up for his son as well.

Donations can be mailed to:
Bank of America
3600 West Main Street
Norman, Oklahoma 73072
attn: Travis Noer

If you chose to do this make sure the check is made out "Vernon George Grant III".

That is very, very tragic. Prayers go out to his family and fraternity brothers.

Such talent lost
