Wedd, a tight end for the University of Oregon college football team, died in July after suffering a head injury during a rock sliding accident. In a statement, the Lane County Sheriff’s Department said that it “responded to the rock slides just a short distance west of Triangle Lake at approximately 2:30pm after receiving the report of an injured person.” This area is about 35 miles from the U of Oregon campus.

“Upon arrival, deputies learned that a 22-year-old male recreating in the area fell and struck his head,” the Sheriff’s office continued. “Bystanders and responding paramedics were unable to revive him.Lane County Sheriff Search and Rescue personnel responded to assist with bringing him back to the roadway as he was approximately 100 yards down a steep trail.”

In an Instagram post the day after Webb died, Kay shared a photo of her and Webb kissing on what appears to be the Oregon Ducks football field, as a memorial to her late boyfriend. “My best friend my twin flame the love of my life. I’ve never loved anything as much as I love you,” she wrote in the caption. “You were my everything, you gave me purpose, you showed me what it’s like to be cherished and valued and seen for me.”

Kay went on to write, “We had so many big plans. I don’t know where to go from here but I know you’ll be watching over me keeping me strong. You always put everybody else before yourself and I’ll try to hold the same kindness in my heart from this life to the next one baby I love you so much and I’ll find you again.”
