Football Player Chance Gainer, 18, Collapses on Field and Dies: Tragic Details

To further demonstrate their support, the Gulf County School District has planned a series of events to honor Gainer. A local pizza place donated pizzas for Monday’s lunch to allow Gainer’s mother and his aunts time to mourn, as they have been part of the Port St. Joe Elementary Lunchroom for many years.

Furthermore, all schools in the district will be closed on Tuesday, and an open luncheon has been prepared for athletes and coaches from the area. Normal classes will resume on Wednesday. There are plans for another event on Saturday 14 called “Celebration of Life,” but the details haven’t been disclosed as of this writing.

Our deepest condolences go to the Gainer family and the Port St. Joe community in their time of mourning, and to all other football players who have lost their lives. RIP Chance Gainer
