It is with great sadness that the Westfield community has lost a leader.
Westfield High School Principal Dr. Derrick Nelson has passed away. Dr. Nelson slipped into a coma after having donated bone marrow to help others.
A true hero on and off the battlefield.
Did the marrow donation cause the fatal medical issue? Other news stories say he donated several months ago - so seems unlikely this was a factor...but hard info is sketchy. Either way bone marrow donation is super-safe for the donor...so something else might have happened.
ReplyDeletePossibly other underlying issues that were not known until after the donation.
DeleteR.I.P. Principal Dr Derrick Nelson and thank you for your service and God bless thoughts and prayers to your friends and family
