It is with shattered hearts and unimaginable grief that we share the tragic passing of Tamir Johnson, a cherished member of the Kutztown University Men’s Basketball family. The news of his death has left our community in profound sorrow, as we struggle to process the loss of a young man whose presence was both inspiring and unforgettable.
Tamir was more than just an athlete — he was a leader, a friend, a teammate, and a bright light to everyone who knew him. On the court, he played with heart, strength, and relentless dedication. Off the court, he was known for his kindness, humility, and unwavering support for those around him.
His absence leaves a void that words cannot fill. The bonds he built, the lives he touched, and the love he gave will forever be etched in the hearts of his teammates, coaches, professors, and the entire KU community.
To know Tamir was to know genuine character and quiet strength. As we honor his life, we will continue to carry his legacy forward — with every game we play and every step we take as a team.
We extend our deepest condolences to Tamir’s family and loved ones. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate this heartbreaking loss.
Rest peacefully, Tamir. You will always be part of this family — now and forever.
