Mayor Vauss extends prayers for all of those who passed and prayers to the family and friends who mourn them.
“Nashawn’s passing is a devastating loss to our community.
While I did not know him personally, I have followed Nashawn’s impressive career playing football and wrestling for Irvington High School and the numerous titles and awards he has received as a result of his hard work and dedication.
Losing someone as young and promising as Nashawn, is losing a part of our future.
My deepest and sincerest condolences go out to all of his family and friends,” said Mayor Vauss.
