UCF Honors Fallen Knights With Memorial Service
Knights Memorial/ Dulcy Brown
Anyone entering the Student Union on April 9 may have wondered at the yellow roses and candles placed carefully on the roped off Pegasus emblem. The tokens are a tribute to the knights lost this past year. UCF will hold the annual Eternal Knights Memorial Service April 9 at 3 p.m. in the Pegasus Ballroom for the 12 Knights who recently passed away.
“Few situations have the ability to impact a campus community as much as the death of a student. Family, friends, classmates, and campus community members are left with unresolved emotions and a need to connect with others,” the Eternal Knights website says.
The Eternal Knights Memorial Service honors students who have passed away during recent academic terms and provides surviving campus community members and family members with an opportunity to celebrate the life of a student. During this annual ceremony, families and friends join with campus leaders and members of the University of Central Florida community to recognize those who will always be remembered as Eternal Knights.
