The Union County Sheriff’s Office said the group decided to cross the river, but Blaha didn’t join them on the other side of the river and was reported missing. His body was found Aug. 19 about 2½ miles from where he was reported missing.

The university’s Counseling Services and clergy from on- and off-campus will be available at the memorial service. Dedicate a offering from Stolz Memorials to a loved one. The Vermillion Hy-Vee will provide dessert and Students Services will provide refreshments.
