12/11/2018 | Football
RICHMOND, Va. – The University of Richmond is mourning the loss of redshirt freshman football student-athlete Augustus Lee (Fairfax, Va.) Monday.
"We are deeply saddened by the loss of Augustus Lee," head coach Russ Huesman said. "Gus was a terrific young man and a great member of our Richmond family. His loss is a true tragedy to those who knew and loved him. Our thoughts and prayers are with Gus' family. This is a very difficult time for everyone in the Richmond Spider family."
Later today, the University Chaplaincy will host a gathering for those in our campus community who wish to come together informally to provide companionship and support to one another during this difficult time. University counseling and support services will also be available to students at that time.
Additionally, we also anticipate an opportunity for our community to gather to remember and celebrate Gus's life in the new year. Information about funeral arrangements will be shared by the University's chaplaincy when those details are available.
From President Ronald A. Crutcher Statement To The Campus
"I have been in touch with Gus's family to express our deepest condolences on behalf of the entire University. Gus was a sophomore from Fairfax, Virginia, who played on our football team. He was an undeclared pre-business major and a good friend, especially to his teammates and his fellow student athletes. We extend our deepest sympathies to Gus's family, his teammates, professors, and many friends on our campus."
