Kutztown University mourns the death of one of its students.

“The Kutztown University community is deeply saddened by the passing of Gregory Heifer, a psychology major from Spring Township,” wrote David Johson of KU Relations to The Kutztown Patriot. “Gregory was a valued member of our student body and will be deeply missed on campus. The thoughts of all KU students, faculty and staff are with the Heifer family at this time.”

Heifer was a commuter student and apparently collapsed at home and was taken to Reading Hospital where he passed away of natural causes. He was a 2007 graduate of Wilson High School and was majoring in psychology at KU.
