We report this news with great sadness. We need every reader to please keep this family in their thoughts and prayers as we go through this devastating time right now.
Dylan Thomas, a star football player of Pike County High School has passed away after a freak accident took place during a Friday night game. As a result, Thomas was left in a coma.
Pike County residents gathered together weekend in prayer to help Thomas' recovery. The community was heartbroken once they discovered that he didn't make it. Thomas passed away on Sunday night at Grady Memorial Hospital.
Thomas, a junior, was playing on the Varsity team against Peach County High School when he got hurt. The family told "Fox5" that Thomas was hit in the second quarter and then he went back out on the field unphased. Later, when Thomas was sitting on a bench on the sideline, his arm and leg went numb and then he collapsed.
Thomas was airlifted to Grady Memorial Hospital where he had two surgeries to remove the swelling on his brain. He had a severe brain injury.
Watch:
Going into Saturday, the family and the community couldn't do much. All they could do was pray. And they did. The family has said that they are so overwhelmed by the love and support their community has given them. Local businesses and Papa Johns have stepped in to help with raising money to help pay for the medical costs.
Will you please keep the family in your thoughts and prayers?
