FORMER BHS CROSS-COUNTRY STAR MATTHEW SPAHN DIES
Former Brenham High School Cross-Country runner Matthew Spahn has died.
Spahn passed away this (Wednesday) morning at 11:10 a.m. at Temple Scott and White Hospital. He was 21 years old.
Spahn suffered serious injuries after being struck by a car early in the morning on October 7th, while walking in the 2600 block of Gun and Rod Road in Brenham.
According to Brenham Police Detective Joseph Merkley, the case is still being investigated, so he could not give details on if the driver that struck Spahn will face charges.
Spahn was a state qualifier at Brenham High School, and would go on to run at Pratt Community College.
The family of Spahn is potentially looking to use Brenham High School for a memorial service, but a date has not been set.
The family has a GoFundMe account set up for anyone interested in donating, at https://www.gofundme.com/68bq23c.
Matthew was such a sweet young man. I can vividly remember his bright smile and willingness to do whatever was asked of him. He was a respectful and kind young man and I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to have known him while he attended BJHS. My prayers are with his family and friends and I know that he will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
My heart goes out to Matthew’s family! He was a remarkable young man! Many prayers for healing and peace!
RIP Matthew till we meet again!
My condolences to the Spahn family. May you find comfort in the good memories you have of Matthew. May God bless you and keep you strong.
My heart is with my sister, Juanita and nephew, Gabriel and the rest of the Spahn Family.
