UI community remembers Collin Sather
Just a month after finding out he had stage four kidney cancer, Idaho football’s Collin Sather died Feb. 26.
Sather, a freshman wide receiver, was taken to the hospital with stomach pains Jan. 17, before transferring to Deaconess Hospital in Spokane Jan. 21.
“I was so angry that (Sather) didn’t have the opportunity to beat cancer,” said Treena Sather-Head, Sather’s mother. “And then I realized — (he) would’ve been enduring cancer treatments and follow- ups that he wouldn’t have been able to live the life he wanted, and he did live the life he wanted, and the life he loved and for that I’m eternally grateful.”
