Just recently, the band While We’re Up has been facing tragic events. The band has been following the famous Vans Warped Tour this summer to promote their music. In the early morning hours of July 8th, the band experienced a tragic car accident en route from Chicago to Shakopee, Minnesota. The car’s right rear tire exploded. Immediately, the car lost control and overturned on the highway. Unfortunately, Zachary Booher, guitarist/singer, was instantly killed. Steven Rouk and Trevor McCoy, a friend of the band, were rushed to the hospital where they spent time recovering. Trevor has suffered minor head injuries and lung damage. Steven is recovering from head and neck injuries as well as minor lung damage. The band added on their Facebook that losing Zach was such a tragedy and that they are at a loss for words. Zach was an irreplaceable friend to many. Zachary’s mother has posted on the band’s Facebook recently adding, "We've received many requests for making donations to honor Zach's name. We believe the best way to honor Zach is by establishing a music scholarship in his name at ASU. If you'd like to donate, please personal message me for the account details. We're not allowed to post the account on the internet per bank rules. Thanks again for your prayers during this sad time.”-Joanna Booher. Surely, Zachary will be missed by many. If you would like to send condolences to the band, you can tweet them @WhileWereUp or leave a message on their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/whilewereup.
