Reilly Feil, a 19-year-old senior and varsity football player at Lee Williams High School in Kingman, Arizona, died in a tragic accident on May 14, 2025.
Although the intricate details about the tragic accident remain unclear, the hospital has declared him brain-dead. However, they are keeping his body for organ donation, ensuring his legacy lives on through the lives he will save.
This was not his first battle with adversity. Two years ago, Reilly survived a near-death when he survived a near-fatal accident that almost took his life.
He had overcome the odds before, proving his determination. However, this time, Feil was unable to pull through.
Reilly Feil, a senior at Lee Williams High School who was preparing to graduate this year, is survived by his parents, Jeremy Feil and Tasha Brown, and his brother.
His father, Jeremy, broke his silence on Facebook, writing a tribute and informational post, sharing details about Reilly’s “Walk of Life.” He wrote:
We have had so many people wanting to come for Ry’s walk of life, it will take me all day to personally message everyone. So just a heads up it will be tomorrow or Friday after 7pm. We should have an exact time/ date around 1 or 2 this afternoon. And I will post as soon as I know.
