Student tributes

We honor the memory of NAU students who have passed, reflecting on their lives, their contributions, and the lasting impressions they made on our Lumberjack community.

This page is dedicated to honoring NAU students who have passed, acknowledging their presence, impact, and the role they played in our university community. Names are shared with permission and will be updated each spring. Students are also recognized in a ceremony at commencement.

With the consent of their families, we respectfully share each student’s name, photo, and degree program as a tribute to their life and legacy. Our deepest sympathies go out to all who are mourning these losses.
