SARANAC, Mich. (AP) - The father of a boy who collapsed during football practice and died says there wasn’t a “dry eye in the building” when the father of Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh presented a ball and Wolverines jersey.
A memorial service was held Wednesday for Skylar Lasby, who died of a heart ailment last week. He was a 7th grader in the Saranac school district in western Michigan.
