Tate Myre

"On the tip of Tate's "iceberg" you will find that he carried a 3.85 grad point average, was part of the OHS mentorship program, led the OHS football team and contended in the MHJSAA State Finals in wrestling. As impressive as of that information is, it doesn't fully encapsulate WHO Tate Myre truly was in his 17 years of life. When you look at the layers under the water level, Tate "iceberg" is deeply impactful. Tate's student leadership reached beyond student-athletes and the "popular" kids.

His connection extended into the entire Oxford learning community.

Tate was a talented young leader with a natural gift for working with others. He was intuitive, incredibly selfless, and an exceptional student role model. He knew what people needed and when to offer the necessary support(s).

"Every single day, Tate embraced opportunities, activities, and tasks with passion and an influential devotion to excellence. His social/emotional gifts caught the attention of the students and staff members in our school. Tate Myre possessed a natural ability to empower his peers, mentor younger children, and motivate adults." - Kristy Gibson-Marshall Assistant Principal Oxford High School

"Tate Myre was the kind of young man that made the world right for once. To explain his incredibly well-rounded athletic skills, work ethic, and most importantly flawless personality is next to impossible." - Ross Wingert Oxford Head Wrestling Coach

"It is rare to find a human that has the phenomenal characteristics that he had and matched with unbelievable athletic abilities. Tate was the ultimate teammate. He was the essence of what a servant leader truly is. On and off the field, he took care of his responsibilities to fulfill his role at an unmatched level and inspired other, coaches included, to raise the level of play, work, and commitment that goes into any sport or activity." - Zach Line Oxford High School Head Football Coach
