A recent graduation of S&S High School died over the weekend. Benjamin Krueger collapsed after mowing his yard Friday.
On Monday, friends, classmates and family gathered at his alma matter for funeral services.
Active on the court and on the diamond, Ben Krueger was a standout in both basketball and baseball. He was named All-District Honorable Mention in basketball. As first baseman for the Rams, he made the First Team All-District. We're told Krueger had plans to attend UT-Arlington in the fall.
Hundreds of mourners gathered at the high school to pay respects - many of them Krueger's classmates. Friends tell us he was a very good friend and very active on and off the field.
His baseball and basketball teammates served as honorary pall-bearers.
Instead of flowers, the family is asking memorial contributions be made to the Sadler Baptist Church Building Fund.
