A whole generation was shocked when Matt Omans '10 died suddenly on March 9, 2012. Matt was “a brother you could always count on— his door was always open and so were his arms.” Matt served his fraternity in a number of roles, including House Manager, Steward, and Ritualist, but he is best remembered for his warmth, his humor, and his love of life.
In his memory, Alexander “Baba” Aidun '08, along with Grayson Fahrner '07 and James Hunsberger '10, have established a memorial fund with the Edgemoor Leadership Foundation. Contributions to the Matthew Patrick Omans Fund will be used to honor his memory, particularly programs to promote mental health awareness and suicide prevention.
