Dylan Veselic, a Bay High School boys lacrosse player, has died after suffering a head injury during a varsity game at Olmsted Falls Tuesday night.

Bay High School confirmed his death to 3News on Thursday morning. The following statement was released from the Veselic family:

"With heavy hearts, the Veselic family shares the news that Dylan has passed away from injuries suffered during a lacrosse game. We are deeply touched by the overwhelming support and kindness shown by our community and beyond. We ask that you continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time."

Dylan attended Saint Raphael Catholic Church, where a prayer service was held for him on Thursday night. Fr. Dan Schlegel, who led the service, spoke to 3News' Kaitor Kay beforehand.

“I think you have to be realistic about expectations. There's nothing that a preacher can say that will take away the pain and the hurt of such a tragic loss. But there are things that we can point to, such as the community support and the love that's gathered," he said.
