Carson City School District releases statement after former CHS student's death
The Carson City School District issued the following statement Monday following the death Saturday of Carson High School 2017 graduate Jake Roman, whose mother, Susan Roman, is a teacher at Carson Middle School and Jake's father, Blair, who is the athletic director of Carson High School.
“All our hearts are aching for all the Roman family this morning as we mourn the tragic passing of their son this past weekend. Jake was well liked throughout the school district among his friends, peers, coaches and educators. We appreciate his example, and the memory of his legacy will forever be impressed upon our souls. Our sincerest love goes out to his parents, Coach Blair and Susan as well as his siblings, Lily and Michael.”
Jake Roman, who would have turned 21 on Monday, died Saturday in a snowmobile accident.
Funeral services have not yet been announced. The Roman family issued the following statement on the GoFundMe page that was established for them:
"We would like to express how grateful we are for the love, support and generosity we have received. As many of you know, today is Jake’s birthday. Instead of receiving gifts, he is giving others the gift of life. We were so amazed to see the outpouring of love for Jake and our family at the Honor Walk yesterday. He was an extraordinary young man who in his short time with us left a legacy for all of us. Sincerely, The Romans."
