Family and friends gathered Monday night at Wilkins Stadium in Tullahoma to honor 17 year-old Eli Grow who died tragically Saturday in a two-vehicle accident.
Tullahoma High School held a vigil on the school’s football field Monday night and mourners spelled his initials and football number on the bleachers using lanterns.
Grow played football at Tullahoma and was planning to play at Mississippi College in the fall.
His family will hold a celebration of life service at their home Saturday with a bonfire afterwards.
For those who want to help, the family asks for donations to be directed to the Eli Grow Memorial Fund. The fund will help renovate athletic facilities at Tullahoma High School.
The Hahn’s who were in the wreck with Grow have been transferred to Vanderbilt where they are undergoing treatment.
