High School Senior, 18, Dies After Collapsing at Finish Line of Half Marathon: 'A Devastation for Everyone'

Rudy “Junior” Zevallos' family is remembering the 18 year old as "a remarkable friend, student, brother, and son"

A Missouri family is mourning the death of a high school senior who “tragically and very unexpectedly" died after crossing the finish line of a half marathon over the weekend.

Rudy “Junior” Zevallos was rushed to the hospital after he collapsed at the finish line on Saturday and was pronounced dead, according to The Kansas City Star.

Zevallos was 18, according to his family, who launched a GoFundMe fundraiser over the weekend to help the family with funeral costs.

“Junior was a remarkable friend, student, brother, and son,” the family wrote in its memorial. “He was driven by a competitive spirit and a relentless determination to not just complete, but master any and all challenges. Immersing himself in the study of the Bible, mastering the knowledge of investing, and devouring self-improvement books. He was always striving to become the absolute best version of himself.”

The Zevallos family said it was “impossible to summarize” how much the 18-year-old “meant to so many people.”

“Junior was loved by so many and his loss is a devastation for everyone,” the family said.

The Zevallos family said their son’s “exact cause of his death is unclear at this time, but we do know his body temperature reached a fatal level and his heart stopped.”

Zevallos was a senior at Lebanon High School, which said in a Facebook post this week it was mourning the student’s loss “together.” “This is a very difficult time for our school community, and we extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends affected by ths tragic loss,” the Lebanon School District said.

Parents need to understand, O please to understand! That they’ve been LIED TO.
These injections are not at all any kind of vaccines, they need to look at the data about them. And not believe that it’s misleading or”misinformation” or any other thing to fully inquire about how any drug or injected substance is constructed.

The data is readily available. It shows that it’s a genetically enhanced and biologic substance that causes a devastating change within the DNA of any who receives it. Like medications that are biologics, which are easily identifiable by the actual name, ending in “mumab” or similar endings. These drugs damage the body’s ability to fight off infections, even causing cancer.

Hence the incidence of the “super cancers” that are hitting people that have no history on either side of their family.

Yes, and the blood clots. Many, many young people whose lives are grievously cut down not long after being injected by this madness in yet another ‘updated’ dose. And the “boosters”.

Another child lost.

Prayers that the child’s parents are comforted in Jesus’ Name. So horrible.

That’s what happened to Pheidippides in the first marathon.

I think stupid jerks must live forever. I’ve never seen a eulogy for one.

I think you are being glib. Overwhelmingly, people won't say that for a eulogy. But as a counter example, in the last few years, there were two eulogies by daughters trashing their fathers. (In one, I think she said he was a Republican.) Both made the news.

There was also an obit for a mother trashing her.

Everybody ignoring this:
“The Zevallos family said their son’s “exact cause of his death is unclear at this time, but we do know his body temperature reached a fatal level and his heart stopped.”

If this is correct, wow. Fatal body temp is about 109.4.

Ok. 4 jerks have died.

I understand people don’t want to speak ill of the dead. But there’s no reason to go so far eulogizing some pig of a drunken Uncle who cheated on his wife and gambled all the time. As happen with my wife’s Uncle.

I would think 18 years old is not a good age to participate in 13 mile runs, or marathons either. There are better ways of proving stamina, like running a 5k, or cross country. Running until the heart breaks, is stupid. Marathons and half marathons should require a monitor for the runners until they have participated at least twice. I had a friend died at the age of 19 doing the same thing. He was a lifelong runner, and he blew out his heart just like this kid did.
