Thousands of people joined Virginia’s football team, coaches and staff Saturday in honoring Lavel Davis Jr., D’Sean Perry and Devin Chandler.
Several Cavaliers took part. Placekicker Justin Duenkel offered an opening prayer, linebacker Hunter Stewart read the Langston Hughes poem “Life is Fine” and defensive end Jack Camper offered the closing prayer. In between, administrators and teammates of the slain men offered stories and reflections about their football brothers.
In a letter to Chandler, who Williams referred to as “a dancing machine,” Cody Brown told him that “you lit our lives up like a shining star in the sky” and said, “We love you so much and know you’re smiling down on us from heaven.”
