Fallen Mervo Student Remembered As 'Wonderful Young Man'
A student at Mergenthaler Vocational-Technical High School was memorialized after dying this week at 17.
BALTIMORE, MD — A “phenomenal young man” is how Mergenthaler Vocational-Technical high school senior Elijah Gorham is being described.
Gorham, a 17-year-old student-athlete who played wide receiver for the Mustangs, died earlier this week.
Head football coach and athletic director, Patrick Nixon, said Elijah Gorham was a silent leader on the Mervo football team and was a silent leader who was a steady presence for his teammates and even the adults.
