Honoring Former Student Tanner Bryan

Honoring Former Student Tanner Bryan

South Lyon students are wearing blue in memory and honor of student Tanner Bryan who was injured and passed this week. It was his favorite color. 

Students plan to continue to honor him at the upcoming SL v. SLEHS basketball games on Friday, Feb. 9 by wearing blue.

Bryan formerly attended South Lyon schools and had moved to Walled Lake Schools to finish his junior and senior year. The story and following details became widely known to community members when the Walled Lake Central Athletic  Booster Club originally posted a Go Fund Me campaign to help cover costs of his emergency care. 

The site has been updated with this message :
