A strong supporter of Tennesse Wrestling died last night

[fiscon]

I just got the news that Frank Drinkwine, father of former Overton wrestlers Tim, Brian, and Jonathan, had a massive heart attack last night and passed away.

 

Frank was a great man and father. If any of you know the Drinkwines you can attest to that.

 

I will post details about the funeral arrangements as they come available.

 

Keep Donna, Jeremy, Tim, Brian, Jonathan, and Kendall in your prayers.

Sorry to hear. Prayers to the family.

This is sad news for the wrestling community, especially Nashville and Overton. The Drinkwines where huge supporters of the Bobcat wrestling program and were very involved. My prayers go out to Mrs. Drinkwine and the boys.

There is no question I am a blessed and fortunate man. I am one who has had his path crossed by many different people; people who contributed to a beautiful tapestry. My life is reflected in this tapestry which is one thread after another: family, friends, colleagues, the wrestling community, Christian fellowship, students, and student-athletes just to name a few. Each thread is woven together to form a masterpiece that resembles beauty and grace.

 

With this in mind, I have been reminded of God’s sufficient grace the past two months since my father’s passing. As time passes on and this world continues to go about its business, I wanted to stop and reflect on the recent weeks. Put plainly, I did not want another day to go by without letting you know how thankful I am for everyone’s part in my life.

 

During this time of bereavement and grieving, my family and I have been overwhelmed. Overwhelmed with thankfulness, gratitude, and a deep appreciation for those we are blessed to call family and friends. Your support is immeasurable and I am eternally grateful.

 

I am truly blessed and fortunate to be able to call you a friend. Many thanks for your loving and prayerful support.
