Josh Walter sustained traumatic brain injury during a soccer game last Tuesday at the Jeb Stuart Middle School and was air-lifted to get medical attention. Walter had remained in critical condition, and a test Sunday found he had no brain activity.
He is being kept on a respirator so his family can donate his organs.
The website of his church, Highlands Baptist Church, said, “Please pray for the family and friends of Joshua Walter in his passing. Details will be added as we receive them. Thank you.”
