Last fall, Tivy High School was rocked last Fall by the death of football player David Palestrant, a victim of a suspected drunk driving crash.
At 7 p.m. today, a memorial walk to honor Palestrant is slated for Louise Hays Park. The walk is organized by Joan Cortez and Doreen Palestrant, David Palestrant's mother.
The walk, which will cover 1.5 miles, will begin underneath the Sidney Baker Bridge. Those participating are encouraged to walk and pray at their own pace and remember the importance of wearing a seatbelt.
David Palestrant suffered fatal injuries from being ejected during the crash. Palestrant would have graduated this week from Tivy High School.
