Remembering Our Angels: Candlelight Vigil for Pepperdine Students Lost in Tragic Crash Joining together in sorrow, community members are gathering this evening for a candlelight vigil to honor and remember the four Pepperdine University students tragically killed in a crash earlier this week. This vigil serves as part of a day of mourning that began with a heartfelt prayer service on Thursday morning. The lives of Niamh Rolston, Peyton Stewart, Asha Weir, and Deslyn Williams, four beloved seniors at Pepperdine’s Seaver College of Liberal Arts, were cut short when a speeding driver struck them on the Pacific Coast Highway, approximately four miles east of the school, around 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday evening. The Pepperdine community, including students, faculty, friends, and loved ones, is deeply mourning the loss of these four young women. During the morning prayer service, Dr. Tim Spidey, Associate Vice President for Spiritual Life at Pepperdine, addressed the gathering with words of comfort, saying, “The only words I have for you in the midst of this terrible storm are his words, peace I leave you, my peace I give you.” In a touching tribute, Pepperdine University also announced during the prayer service that Niamh Rolston, Peyton Stewart, Asha Weir, and Deslyn Williams will be eligible to receive posthumous degrees. The chief academic officer of the university expressed, “It is my great pleasure as the university’s chief academic officer to note that all four of these students are qualified to receive this honor in the class of 2024.” As we come together to remember these bright souls, it is important to hold onto their memory and the impact they made during their time at Pepperdine. Their lives were filled with promise, and their absence will be deeply felt by the entire community. In this time of grief, let us find solace in the unity we share and the love we have for one another. As personal injury bloggers, we extend our deepest condolences to the families and friends of Niamh Rolston, Peyton Stewart, Asha Weir, and Deslyn Williams. May their spirits soar high, forever guiding us with their light. Let us keep their memories alive and strive to create a world where tragedies like this become a thing of the past. The driver responsible for this devastating accident, identified as 22-year-old Fraser Michale Bohm, now faces gross vehicular manslaughter charges. Authorities have released Bohm from custody, pending further investigation into the incident. We stand together in support of the Pepperdine community during this difficult time and hope that justice will be served for these precious lives taken too soon.
