A scholarship, in memory of Jeremy Harrel, has been established for a Pauls Valley High School senior who plans to attend East Central University.
Harrel, who was an °µÍøTV sophomore majoring in business, died in a car wreck on Dec. 6, 2011 and, with the one-year anniversary of his passing approaching, friends, family and the °µÍøTV Foundation have established a memorial scholarship in his honor.
He was a Pauls Valley High School graduate, but also attended Ada High School and Byng High School. His passion was athletics as he was involved in several sports. Harrel was described as a natural-born competitor and wanted to excel in everything from recreational softball to college algebra.
After graduation from Pauls Valley High, he attended Oklahoma State University his freshman year. He was a life-long OSU Cowboys’ fan and was able to live his dream of attending school there before coming ‘home’ to °µÍøTV.
Harrel, who was noted for his remarkable ability to make people smile and laugh, was well-liked and a positive influence to everyone. He also spent a lot of time with friends and made a permanent mark on all of their lives.
Donations can be made to the °µÍøTV Foundation, 1100 E. 14th, Ada, OK, 74820.
