Tragedy for the Davidson Family

The Davidson College family has once again suffered an emotional blow as one of its beloved members have been tragically and suddenly taken from us once again. Jay Chitty, a senior captain on the Men's Tennis team died in a plane crash Sunday morning in West Charlotte. The plane was a single engine and Chitty's parents and younger brother also died in the crash. They are survived by 25 year old Haley Chitty. The college is planning a memorial service once students return from break.

Chitty had a remarkable spirit about him, and his enthusiasm, passion and graciousness will be sorely missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Haley, friends and family, the Men's tennis team and the community at large.
