CHOUTEAU, Okla. — Many Chouteau residents have heavy hearts as they think about their beloved elementary school teacher, Shelly Snodgrass.
Snodgrass died unexpectedly yesterday, according to Chouteau Mazie Public School.
As the flag remains at half staff and the quaint community of Chouteau goes about life as normal, Shelly Snodgrass remains on their mind, especially for April Heidler and Renee Burns. They've been friends with Snodgrass since childhood.
“She was just the fun one you know what I mean," Heidler said. "She was the go-getter.”

For Heidler dealing with her own injury, she knew she could count on Snodgrass to check up on her. She remembers Snodgrass for going above and beyond, especially with her own son, Bradley.

“He (Bradley) is hilarious," Heidler said.

Snodgrass loved Bradley more than anything, and he clearly loved her back - along with every student who had the pleasure of being in her class.


“Alot of the kids she’s taught in the past that’s in high school, if you ask them who your favorite teacher was, it was always Ms. Snodgrass," Burns said.

Mischievous, athletic, and bright are some of the best words to descibe her. But most of all, she was a beloved teacher and mom.

“I always thought she’d be a nurse growing up with her and stuff, but teaching is where she needed to be," Burns said.

NORTON SHORES, MI – The Western Michigan Christian school community is mourning the sudden death of a high school student this week.

Alia Zuidema, 15, died as a result of a medical emergency on Saturday, April 29, 2023, WMC interim principal Clyde Rinsema told MLive/Muskegon Chronicle.

Zuidema was a freshman at WMC, where she played basketball, cross country and soccer.

Zuidema was described by school leaders as “an absolute gift from God who used her many talents as a shining light for Christ in everything she did,” according to a tribute posted to the school’s Facebook page.


“Alia had a great drive and a passion for everything she did because she lived on purpose,” the post states. “She lived by faith in Christ. That is where she drew her strength. Although our school community is rocked and shaken, it is with that faith we are able to find strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow.”


Even as a freshman, Zuidema quickly emerged as a leader among her peers, school leaders wrote.


“We remember the cross-country runner who, as a freshman, ran hard at the MHSAA state final this year but always joked with teammates on long runs in the woods,” according to the Facebook post. “The basketball player who had fun on the court while still being fiercely competitive. The soccer player who worked hard, scored goals, and still made her teammates laugh. The teammate that ate the chocolate tops off our scotcharoos or called an opponent a ‘silly goose.’ The student and classmate who thought the piano was too loud in choir or didn’t want to sit in a chair but always did her best because learning mattered to her.”


Pastors and counselors were brought into the school on Monday to provide support to students following Zuidema’s sudden death, Rinsema said.


WMC will host a candlelight vigil in Zuidema’s memory at 8 p.m. Wednesday, May 3, at the WMU Outdoor Athletic Facility, located at 455 E. Ellis Road in Norton Shores.


A full obituary is expected to be posted to the Sytsema Funeral and Cremation Services website on Tuesday, May 2.


Alia Zuidema is survived by her parents, Jason and Anne Zuidema.


A funeral service is scheduled for 2 p.m. Friday, May 5, at Second Christian Reformed Church, located at 2021 Sheldon Road in Grand Haven.

16-Year-Old Alexandria High School Student Dies Suddenly at Home​

by Jim Hoft May. 7, 2023 1:00 pm220 Comments

A freshman at Alexandria City High School was found dead in his room on Tuesday morning, and his family is still looking for answers about what happened.

Yonatan Vazquez Méndez, 16, was found lifeless in his bedroom by his father, one day after they all had a birthday party.

“I saw him lying on the floor. I ran and hugged him,” Vazquez Méndez’s father, Daniel Vasquez, told Telemundo44.

The teen’s parents have stated they had no clue what caused their son’s death.

According to NBC News, they had a birthday party for Mendez’s mom just the night before he died.

More from NBC News:

“I don’t understand what happened to my son because he had a life with many plans for him. I don’t even know what to say because he was a very obedient child,” the teen’s mother, María Anabel Méndez, said.

The cause of death of Yonatan Vazquez Méndez is under investigation.

A GoFundMe was created for the Vazquez Mendez family that had raised almost $6,000 as of Sunday, May 7.

“Yonathan was a son, brother, cousin, nephew, friend, and most importantly a child of God,” the fundraising page reads.

“He dedicated his time and life to Jesus Christ alongside his family and played the guitar in his congregation. During his free time he loved spending time with his family watching movies, play video games, while eating pizza and drinking his Starbucks. We ask during this difficult time that you pray for our family and we appreciate whatever amount God places in your heart, we thank you very much. God bless you!

In an email obtained by Daily Voice, ACHS Principal Peter Balas broke the news of Yonatan’s terrible death to the school community.

“Yonatan has been part of the Alexandria City Public Schools (ACPS) family since he was in middle school, and his passing is a sad and tragic loss for his family, friends and our school community.

“He was always respectful and was well liked by his peers. On behalf of the entire Titan community, we send our thoughts and prayers to his family and loved ones.”

The family’s apartment was crowded Thursday with relatives who drove from Texas when they got the tragic news.

“I still can’t believe it because one day we had him with us and the other day we didn’t,” said Yonatan’s cousin Sindi Méndez.
His cousins said they saw Yonatan as a brother.

“He was very humble, sweet, kind, smart, energetic. He was, he was the type of person that … like, he was always there for you,” cousin Chris Depaz said.

Music was Yonatan’s passion and something he’d hoped to pursue as a profession, his family said. He played guitar for their church’s band every Sunday.

His parents said Yonatan had an important role in their family looking out for his two younger siblings and using his English language skills to help take care of the bills and other household business.

Alexandria police said they’re investigating the circumstances of the teen’s death and whether it had anything to do with opioids. They are awaiting a report from the medical examiner.

The family, however, said they’ve never seen any indication their son had tried drugs.

“I had a meeting with the counselor, and he said that they had never seen anything with Yonatan, and he told me, ‘Really, I congratulate you for being vigilant because not all mothers are like you,” María Anabel Méndez said.

My cousin’s son died yesterday.

He was a very healthy, 31 year old. He worked part time for the forestry service for several years, and just landed a very promising job full time with the US Park Service that was going to require that he move to Washington.

He did have a mild case of Covid back in January 2023, but he got over that pretty quick.

And as a government worker, he got the first two vaxes. I do not know if he ever got a booster.

He was packing Thursday to make the drive to DC. His Mom - a nurse - was there to help him pack and see him off.

He told his Mom he did not feel good. She took his BP, and it was very low.

So she took him to the hospital.

Within hours, he was intubated, His kidneys were failing on Friday.

He died yesterday afternoon.

Totally unexpected.


RIP, “Johnny” (not his real name)

‘We Miss You Already’: 18-Year-Old High School Star Athlete Dies After Collapsing at Practice

Hunter Palmer, 18, a high school track star in Nebraska, died on Friday after collapsing during practice.

Palmer was a multi-sport athlete for Wisner-Pilger High School in Nebraska who also held a scholarship to play football at Midland University in Nebraska. He was fresh off an impressive performance at a recent track meet when he collapsed and died on Friday.

“It is with a very heavy heart that we can confirm that Hunter Palmer, senior at Wisner-Pilger Schools, has died,” the school said in a statement obtained by KSNB-TV. “Additional information regarding funeral arrangements will be shared once they are known. It is important for parents to check in on their children during this difficult time. Grief is very complicated and can affect each child differently. If your child needs any assistance, contact Wisner-Pilger Public Schools at 402-529-3249.”

Temperatures in the area were reportedly in the 80s.

According to Palmer’s obituary, “He loved hanging out with friends, driving around, watching Netflix, lifting weights, singing, and drinking Dr. Pepper. His favorite teams were the Green Bay Packers and Clemson Tigers.”

Midland head football coach Jeff Jamrog posted a statement to Twitter expressing his sadness at Palmer’s passing.

“Heaven gained a great young man,” Jamrog wrote. “Our hearts are heavy and we are all suffering with the pain of the loss of Hunter Palmer. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Palmer family, friends and the Wisner-Pilger community.

“Our staff really enjoyed recruiting Hunter. He was a dynamic young man who was an absolute pleasure to be around. Hunter was someone so special and will never be forgotten. Hunter is gone way too soon. May you rest in eternal peace, Hunter. We miss you already.”

Tori Bowie, a sprinter who won three medals at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro and the next year won the world championship in the 100-meter dash with a stunning comeback, has died. She was 32.

Her death was confirmed in a statement on Wednesday by U.S.A. Track and Field, which provided no other details.

The Orange County, Fla., sheriff’s office said in a statement that its personnel went to a house in Winter Garden, Fla., on Tuesday to check on a woman in her 30s who had not been seen or heard from in several days. They entered the home and found the body of a woman, whom they tentatively identified as Frentorish “Tori” Bowie. The statement said “there were no signs of foul play".
At the 2016 Olympics, Bowie won a gold medal in the 4x100 relay, anchoring a team with Tianna Bartoletta, Allyson Felix and English Gardner that finished the race with a time of 41.01. She won the silver medal in the 100-meter dash and bronze in the 200-meter.

I would like to know the time between getting the jab and the sudden death. What is the longest period? After a certain time do you enter a safe zone?

There has been observed a peak in deaths around five months or so. Safe zone, nope. Every day you wake up north of the grass is a gift. Assuming you’ve bought a lottery ticket at all.

Champion Waterskier ‘Died Suddenly’ At Age 18, Team Says​

An 18-year-old Canadian water skier “died suddenly” May 6, his team announced Monday.

Michael Arthur “Micky” Geller was a freshman at the University of Louisiana-Lafayette and a top-ranked Canadian water skier from Ontario, according to Water Ski Canada. Geller “died suddenly,” the team said in a statement. No further information has been released concerning his cause of death.

“It is with great sadness that the University will lower the University flag to half-staff in memory of Michael Arthur “Micky” Geller on Thursday, May 18,” his school wrote in a statement on Facebook, sharing a photograph of Geller below.

Geller started practicing the sport when he was just four years old, according to the New York Post. He went on to represent his country in a series of championships, including the U17 IWWF World Championship, the Jr. U.S. Masters Water Ski Tournament and the 2022 Pan American Championships. He climbed the ladder to become the sixth-ranked junior water skier in the world for the U21 jump.

“In his free time Micky enjoyed the company of close friends, motorcycling, snowmobiling, having deep conversations and debates and just chillin’,” his family wrote in his obituary. “With his full throttle approach to life, Micky experienced more in his 18 years than many ever will.”

There has been observed a peak in deaths around five months or so. Safe zone, nope. Every day you wake up north of the grass is a gift. Assuming you’ve bought a lottery ticket at all.

From early days, there was a five-year span being floated. I suspect we can have some confidence in that number. Given a normal distribution, we are probably 35% of the way through that timespan, and have seen less than 15% of the total fatalities. The peak is probably late this year and early next.

High school football player fighting for his life after collapsing during basketball game



PAULDING COUNTY, Ga. — A Paulding County High School football player is fighting for his life after he collapsed and had a seizure while he was playing basketball with his friends, according to his mother.

Avery Cox is a rising senior. A family member, Lisa O’Neal Youngblood, wrote on Facebook that after he collapsed on Monday, his heart stopped. He was life-flighted to Egleston, where he was put on a ventilator.

“His initial exam at Egleston indicated excessive swelling in his brain with little brain activity,” Youngblood wrote. “The doctors informed us that he had blood in his lungs and that he was in acidosis. They told us that he was very sick and that his body had suffered a major trauma.”

Acidosis occurs when body fluids contain too much acid. The condition can cause seizures, although it’s unclear if that’s what caused Cox’s seizure.

Cox’s family is asking the community for prayers. Paulding County High School held a prayer meeting for the teen Wednesday night.

“We are praying that his brain wakes up and we see brain activity,” Youngblood wrote. “We are praying that his lungs clear and that he is able to come off of the ventilator. We are praying that his heart is healed and beats and functions properly.”

Cox was a linebacker for the varsity football team in the 2022-2023 season, according to hudl.com.

The school district issued a statement to Channel 2 Action News, reading:

“The school has been in contact with the family and our hearts are with them during this difficult time.”

Anyone who says any of this is normal is fooling themselves.

The number of people I personally know (or second hand) who have been suddenly diagnosed with late stage cancer in the past year is mind-numbing. It's not clear what's causing this, but what speaks VOLUMES is the fact that the government and the mainstream media are ignoring it.

If this many people started dying of COVID, they would lock us down again and throw away the key.

Yep. A very good friend was just sent home on hospice... terminal lung cancer and less than 20% heart function from what they are calling a "silent, massive heart attack". I don't know how you can have a heart attack that severe without noticing, but he apparently did. Yes, he's vaxxed.

And yes, he smoked for 50 years... but he had prostate cancer about 4 years ago, which was declared "cured"... but he's still had yearly PET scans, etc, NONE of which showed any sort of lung lesions.

His only symptom was extreme fatigue. He's 69. Both his mom and dad lived into their 80s (despite being heavy smokers), so this is definitely "too young" in terms of genetics.

It sucks.

CINCINNATI —
The Hamilton County community is mourning the loss of a new deputy who died just nine months after joining the sheriff's department.
Thirty-six-year-old deputy Marcus Zeigler died on Friday after the sheriff's office says he suffered a medical emergency while participating in police academy activities.

"I was so proud of him," said Zeigler's aunt, Deloris Palmer.
Zeigler was a role model to many. He taught concealed carry classes and helped a lot of people as a Hamilton County Deputy. His aunt and uncle say it was his dream and lifelong passion.
"Family was the most important thing to him, and of course, Cassaundra, his wife, that was his sunshine," said Zeigler's uncle, Elsworth Palmer.
Zeigler was an employee of the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office for nine months and is survived by his wife, Cassaundra and children Dominique, Aziah Miles, Marcus, Gionnie, and Dutchess.
His childhood friend, Scott Price, is trying to wrap his head around this sudden tragedy.

"He was extremely healthy. He lost a lot of weight, and then he made sure he watched what he ate. Just chicken and rice, for the most part. He would work out two times a day," Price said.
Zeigler served as a deputy for just nine months with the whole world ahead of him.
"He said 'Auntie, I did it and this is something I wanted to do and I made it and I'm going to go further,' and I told him you can do whatever you set your mind to," Deloris Palmer said.
Hamilton County Sheriff Charmaine McGuffey said a public visitation will be held on Friday, June 2, from 1-3 p.m. at the Spring Grove Funeral Home located at 4389 Spring Grove Ave.

Yep. A very good friend was just sent home on hospice... terminal lung cancer and less than 20% heart function from what they are calling a "silent, massive heart attack". I don't know how you can have a heart attack that severe without noticing, but he apparently did. Yes, he's vaxxed.

And yes, he smoked for 50 years... but he had prostate cancer about 4 years ago, which was declared "cured"... but he's still had yearly PET scans, etc, NONE of which showed any sort of lung lesions.

His only symptom was extreme fatigue. He's 69. Both his mom and dad lived into their 80s (despite being heavy smokers), so this is definitely "too young" in terms of genetics.

It sucks.

Ron died exactly 8 days after his diagnosis. While part of me is grateful he didn't suffer for a long time, I'm shocked and enraged at the incredible aggressiveness these cancers display! It leaves you wondering how many more...

One of my best friends is dying of lung cancer. She did not get the shots but she did get the virus very seriously, she was in (unknown at the time) contact with someone who just got the shot. She was perfectly heathy before that now she has a couple of months left, if she's fortunate.

She insists she got this from shedding. I saw her last week and she was still mobile, she told me that the way it's going she thinks she has about 2 weeks left. Oh, she was already in stage 4 when they found it and she decided not to get any treatment.

I'm sad.

I've lost 2 friends within the past 2 months. Both vaxed, both had no medical issues, living normal lives, loving their families. They just dropped dead. Their families are stunned and shocked. Ages 69 and 70. I'm sad. Had some good times with those gals.
Back in 1972, my brother let me borrow his El Camino for the night. I said I was staying at her house, she said she was staying at mine. Nothing was happening in the hometown, so one of us had the brilliant idea to go to Baltimore. We were gonna hit all the clubs (neither of us had ever been clubbing in Baltimore and remember they lowered the drinking age to 18). Almost sunset and we're cruising down a 2 lane street and folks on the sidewalk were waving and hollering at us. Hale, we thought they were just being friendly. Turns out we were headed the wrong way on that street!!! They were tryin to keep us from getting killed head on....Yeah, we didn't have gps, and couldn't find any clubs, we were in the wrong part of town...so we headed home, found a farmer's field to park in, drank a few beers and fell asleep. I'll miss that sassy Lassy.

The other gal I've known since wee lil kids....and shared a lifetime of memories.

I'm worried about the future of my friends and family....I really am.

I think it’s important that we keep putting names and faces to these deaths. Across a number of threads (thankfully now this thread has finally gained some traction) I’ve posted dozens and dozens of photos of young people who died “suddenly” and “at home.” These have all come from one online news source from Schuylkill County, PA, a mostly rural county.

Gotta keep putting names and faces to these deaths. Too many Americans are like the good church-going Germans of the 1940s. Many simply raise their voices in song to drown out the noise of the death trains rumbling by. “Oh, I don’t want to think about that!”

We are in the midst of a holocaust.

Names and faces, my friends. Let us continue to shine the light of truth upon this tragedy, this holocaust.

MARCH 7, 1952 – MARCH 15, 2023​

IN THE CARE OF

Demaine Funeral Home​

Jane Roop, 71, wife, mother, and proud Mom-Mom passed away unexpectedly surrounded by her family on Wednesday, March 15, 2023 at Fairfax Hospital. She adored her family, and was adored by them. Jane is survived by her beloved husband Charlie of nearly 53 years and her loving children Heather Fulford and her husband Andrew, Michael Roop and his wife Raina, as well as her treasured grandsons Payton Fulford, Chase Fulford, and Mason Roop. She is also survived by brothers Alfred Derosier and John Derosier.
Jane was an 'Army-brat' who was born at Fort Knox, Kentucky and lived on several CONUS military posts as well as in Hawaii, but moved to the small town of Perryville, Maryland, her mother's home town, after her father retired. It was in Perryville by chance in 1968 in a fast food restaurant that she met Charlie, the love of her life -- and she was most definitely the love of Charlie's life. They married on Independence Day July 4, 1970, and enjoyed many travel adventures together via Charlie's initial military and follow-on Department of Defense civilian positions with stops in New Jersey, Maryland, Arizona, Southern California where daughter Heather was born, Washington state, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, and finally settled in Northern Virginia where son Michael was born.
Jane loved to travel and she and Charlie continued to do so regularly after they settled in Virginia. Several of her favorite, regular stops were Las Vegas, Southern California, and the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
More than anything Jane loved her family. She was a devoted wife and best friend to her husband Charlie and absolutely loved being near both kids and all three grandsons. She especially loved celebrating birthdays and family holidays with them at her home.
It's impossible to measure how much Jane will be missed by her family and her many, many friends but her memories will forever be a blessing.

Tragic.

Athletic individuals seem to be afflicted more often than sedentary ones. It makes me wonder if the deadly effect gets accelerated in hearts that regularly perform intense exercise? If so, does that mean the sedentary hearts may also be affected but perhaps at a slower rate? Maybe we are not even close yet to the peak of these “died suddenlies?”

The timeline of 3-5 years was given for a reason. Were in year 2, going into 3. And most Americans are sedentary.
