Stillwater Community Memorial Service Honors Parade Victims

Victims, survivors, and first responders of the OSU homecoming parade crash were honored and remembered at Tuesday's memorial service at Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater.

OSU President Burns Hargis encouraged attendees to honor the victims of the tragedy by focusing on the future.

"Our response must be to honor their lives with our lives. This tragedy can be a catalyst for us to embrace each other, to love each other more, to encourage the best in us all."

Stillwater Mayor Gina Noble says the tragedy reminds us all to embrace the present.

"The past ten days has reminded us to live and love in the moment, because there's no guarantee that our lives will be the same tomorrow."

An online memorial to remember the victims and share condolences can be found at go.okstate.edu/parade-memorial.
