We are deeply saddened by the death of North Greenville University student-athlete Davis Heller, who died October 5 in his off-campus apartment. Although there is an ongoing investigation, initial indications are that he died of natural causes.
Â
Davis was a junior from Gilbert, Arizona, majoring in Strategic Communication. A first baseman for NGU baseball, he was in his first semester after transferring from the University of Alabama.
Â
"Our baseball program is heartbroken over the loss of an amazing human being and brother in Christ," said NGU Coach
Landon Powell. "Davis was a positive force everywhere he went. A gentle giant who greeted everyone with a smile and constantly uplifted those around him. An example of what a great teammate should be, Davis has left a lasting legacy on this program. A great competitor, but even better friend to those who got to know him."
Â
Please pray for Davis's parents, three sisters, extended family, and friends during this time of loss.
Â
Funeral arrangements are pending at this time.
