(Wauseon, OH) Two Fulton County communities say goodbye to a favorite son today.
Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. in the Wauseon High School gym for popular Evergreen High School athletic director Tim "T.J." Rupp, who died last weekend from injuries he suffered in a car crash.
Classes are canceled today at Evergreen so students can pay their final respects. The 30-year old Rupp was well-known for kind words to student-athletes no matter how well they played. Rupp also impacted Wauseon high school athletics as a student football manager and volunteer for several years. Students are even being encouraged to wear athletic shorts and T-shirts in Rupp's memory.
Rupp leaves behind a young son and pregnant wife just weeks from delivering their second child. A GoFundMe account has been set up to help his family.
