SARANAC, Mich. — A candlelight vigil will be held Friday night to honor a Saranac middle schooler who died after collapsing at football practice.
Skylar Lasby, 12, died at a hospital overnight Wednesday, hours after he collapsed during a non-contact portion of practice.
A vigil will be held at 9 p.m. Friday night at the Saranac High School football field to honor his memory and support his family.
