I am very saddened by the news that Justin Yurong died Saturday evening in a car accident on the Parks Highway. Justin was a faculty member and a coordinator for the paramedic program in the UAF Community and Technical College.
|
Justin had been working at CTC for three years and was known as an energetic educator who brought out the best in his students. Under his leadership, the CTC team swept every category in the Alaska State Emergency Medical Services Skills Olympics last winter. His death is a loss both to the university and to the emergency medical services community in Alaska.
|
My deepest condolences go out to Justin’s family, friends and co-workers, and to the students he mentored, taught and encouraged with such dedication.
|
Any loss is difficult, especially when it happens suddenly. If you are struggling during this time, please don’t hesitate to seek help.
