The SIUE community is mourning the loss of student Michael Peel, who passed away last week from an ATV accident while in Greece. He was 24.
A Chicago native, Peel was a member of the Iota Pi Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. Although taking a semester off, he was a senior in the College of Arts and Sciences, majoring in mass communications with a minor in business administration. He was just a few hours short of graduation.
As information regarding visitation and services becomes available, it will be passed along.
