Hartselle native Virgil Starks, Senior Associate Athletics Director for Student-Athlete Support Services at Auburn University, died Oct. 8 after leaving the Auburn/ Tennessee-Martin game.
His death is attributed to a heart attack.
Starks was a member of the 1980 Hartselle football team that made it all the way to the state championship game.
He is survived by his wife, Donna, and three daughters. Funeral services were held earlier this week in Auburn.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Tigers Unlimited Foundation in memory of Virgil Starks. All donations will benefit Starks' passion, the academic and life-skills enhancement of Auburn student-athletes.
