A memorial service for Pacific Lutheran University students Jocelyn Denham and Brady Freeman, a junior offensive lineman on the football team, was held on the campus Monday.
The service came three days after they died in a car accident that also injured Freeman’s twin, University of Puget Sound football player Boone Freeman.
“It was good to hear (PLU) President (Loren J.) Anderson and the academic advisers speak,” senior defensive back Jeff Ebel said about the service at Lagerquist Concert Hall in the Mary Baker Russell Music Building. “It was good to have a service for them.
“It was still fairly emotional, since it’s so soon.”
Brady Freeman was driving his 1999 Pontiac Grand Am on U.S. 97 near Brewster when it collided with a 1999 Ford Expedition. Brady Freeman and Denham, his girlfriend, were pronounced dead at the scene. Both were 21.
Boone Freeman was released from Okanogan Douglas District Hospital in Brewster the next day.
Three people in the Expedition escaped with minor injuries.
A memorial service for Brady Freeman will be held Thursday in Tonasket, his hometown, while a service for Denham will be held in her hometown of Bend, Ore., next week.
