On June 14, one of the most unimaginable tragedies occurred at Disney’s Grand Resort and Spa. Lane, the son of Former two-time Nebraska state champion Matt Graves, was attacked by an alligator.
In an attempt to save his son, Matt, who wrestled for Millard North High School, jumped into the water to wrestle the alligator and pry his son from its jaws. Tragically, his son was killed, and his body was found the following day.
Since this heartbreaking event, the Millard North community has posted many messages with thoughts and prayer going out to the Graves family. Friends have spoken about Matt and how his attempted heroics were not a shock to them.
In an interview with Inside Edition, family friend Joe Kneifl talked about Graves, and said he “was a state champion wrestler [who] is tough as nails.”
Our hearts and prayers go out to Matt Graves and his family during this very difficult time.
