@annaraeoflight: John Servati died a hero. Held up a concrete wall long enough for his girlfriend to get out from under it before it collapsed again on him.
@annaraeoflight: John's mom told our team this morning he always wanted to be an Alabama swimmer, and he always wanted to be a hero. He accomplished both.

I was proud of our 12th place finish... doesn't compare to what I feel about my fallen teammate (seperated by over a decade)

That's awful, but the kid is awesome. That's one heroic way to go out.

Aye, this be true.

Meet John Servati, he was a junior at the University of Alabama and star of their swim team. He was also on the Dean's List, was a U.S. Open qualifier who set records in high school, and was involved in Big Brothers and Big Sisters. John was a Christian, and was described by everyone around him as an everyday hero.
John died on Monday after saving his girlfriend during a Tornado. John held up a falling concrete wall that was collapsing on him and his girlfriend so she could escape. She was able to get away unharmed, the wall crushed him.
John died a hero.
Our thoughts our with his family, friends.
