The Torch is saddened to hear of the passing of Marvins Antoine, 18, a first-year student at UMass Dartmouth. He was an involved member of the athletic community, a running back for UMassD’s football team. We send our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and teammates affected by this tragedy. 

The Torch would also like to express our support for Kensley Macean in his recovery. No students deserve their education and opportunities to be cut short. 

The Torch would like to extend the invitation for those who knew Marvins to contribute to a memory and photo board that will be shared on our website. The link to the form can be found here: In Memory of Marvins Antoine.
