SARANAC, Mich. — The father of a boy who collapsed during football practice and died says there wasn't a "dry eye in the building" when the father of Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh presented a ball and Wolverines jersey.

A memorial service was held Wednesday for Skylar Lasby, who died of a heart ailment last week. He was a 7th-grader in the Saranac school district in western Michigan.

Jack Harbaugh delivered a football and Michigan jersey with Skylar's name. The football was signed by Jim Harbaugh.
