Dental and medical students involved in automobile accident

Matthew Chun
February 24, 1978 to
Augus 25, 2002

 

Saturday evening, August 24, Matthew Chun and Brian Sohn, both second-year dental students, along with two medical student friends were returning from Forest Falls when they were involved in a traffic accident. Matthew sustained serious head injuries and was airlifted to Arrowhead Medical Center where he fought for his life until 6:30 p.m. Sunday, August 25. Brian and the two medical students also sustained significant but non-life threatening injuries.

It is at times like these that we must draw together as not just as a school, but also a family, to support the students involved, their families, and each other. Please keep the Chun family in your prayers. The loss of a child is one of life’s greatest sorrows. When it is someone of the quality of Matthew Chun, it is a real tragedy for us all. The School held a prayer service on Monday, August 26. Family and friends remembered Matthew in a memorial service August 27 in the Korean Adventist Church in Grand Terrace, and his funeral was held Thursday morning, August 29.
