A Stillwater couple who were college sweethearts were among the victims of Saturday’s tragedy.
Marvin Lyle Stone and his wife, Bonnie Jean Stone, both 65, died during the homecoming parade.
Marvin, known by some of his friends as “Doc Rock,” was born June 22, 1950, in Denver, Colo-rado. He attended Flagler public schools and went to Otero Junior College in La Junta, Colorado. There, he received an associate’s degree and met his future wife, Bonnie.
Bonnie Stone was born Feb. 19, 1950, in La Junta, Colorado. Marvin’s sister, Beth Pelton, said Bonnie had a deep love for animals. When the couple first married, they had to find a place to board her horse. Many travels with her husband kept her from getting
a pet for the home. “She knew they just couldn’t do
that to a pet,” Pelton said. Lenny Stone, Marvin’s brother,
said Bonnie was her husband’s biggest supporter.
“She was the woman behind the man,” Lenny Stone said.
The Stones were married Dec. 31, 1970, and moved to Fort Collins, Colorado, where Marvin pursued his bachelor’s degree in agricultural engineering at Colorado State University. Bonnie pursued a degree in archaeology at the same time, and they both graduated in 1973. They stayed in Fort Collins so Marvin could pursue his master’s in agricultural engineering as well.
After graduation, Marvin worked for 3 years for Ralston Purina, where he invented the machine that created the dyes for Cookie Crisp cereal. Lenny Stone said his brother would eventually hold eight patents for his ideas.
Marvin received his doctorate in engineering in 1982 at Washington State University. He began work-ing for Oklahoma State University after graduation.
Stone taught at OSU for 24 years, retiring in 2006. Stone was well known among his students for his talents in teaching and men-toring. The Marvin and Bonnie
Stone Endowed Scholarship Fund was established after his retire-ment, and the first scholarship was awarded in 2007.
Pelton said her brother was con-stantly helping and teaching others.
“He was a mentor,” she said. “He was a teacher at heart. Marv knew something about every-thing.”
Bonnie worked in OSU’s Insti-tutional Research and Information Management department. She planned to retire next year, after an update to the SIS system she over-saw was completed. She was also an enthusiastic supporter of OSU men’s basketball, with a collection of ticket stubs going back for years.
“We went to Bonnie’s office, trying to find passwords and stuff,” Lenny Stone said, as he held up Eddie Sutton face signs. “Over on the table in the corner was these.”
A small memorial adorned the front door to the Stone’s house in Stillwater, including flowers and an orange bow tied around the handle. Neighbors described the Stones as extremely friendly.
“He and I talked almost every day,” neighbor Max Andrews said. “He was very encouraging. I’m just heartbroken.”
Ernie Robinson, another neighbor, said Marvin was always friendly and ready to help.
“If someone was out, he’d go over and talk with them and ask them if they needed help,” Robin-son said. “Bonnie, in nice weather, would ride her bicycle to work every day.”
Robinson said he and his wife found out Sunday morning the Stones were two of the victims of Saturday’s tragedy.
“When I saw Marv’s name … my mouth dropped open and we both just sat there numb for a little
bit,” Robinson said. “We’re all still in shock. It’s hard to believe.”
Marvin’s family echoed those comments, saying the entire family was “numb, shocked.”
“It’s not what we were expect-ing,” Lenny Stone said.
“They were so giving,” Pelton said. “These students were their kids. They both just loved this university.”

Nicolette Strauch is living a mother’s nightmare.
Strauch and her son, Nash Lucas, 2, were among those injured and killed during OSU’s Sea of Orange Parade on Saturday. Strauch, an Okla-homa State chemical engineer-ing sophomore, was treated and released from a hospital, according to Stillwater police.
Tragically, Lucas’ injuries were fatal, and he died later that day at the OU Children’s Hospital.
Zack Boyles, an OSU economics sophomore, said he became good friends with Strauch while working with her at OSU Parking and Trans-portation Services during the past month.
“I haven’t really hung around Nash much, but the little bit that I did, I mean, he was just this happy, bright little boy,” Boyles said. “He was full of joy.”
Boyles said Strauch was a great mother, and Lucas was the reason she pushed herself so hard.
“She’s a good person,” Boyles said. “It’s terrible that something like this would hap-pen to her and to Nash.”
Boyles said he was working when he heard what happened. He said he saw Strauch was at the Sea of Orange Parade through Snapchat, but he wasn’t able to reach Strauch on her cellphone. Boyles said he later heard the news through mutual friends.
“Then I heard about Nash,” Boyles said. “Firstly, I was angry, and then it kind of faded through the night. I was more in shock and disbelief. And now, it’s just more sadness and worry for Niki.”
Jay Dogget, OSU Parking and Transportation Services enforcement supervisor, is Strauch’s supervisor. He said Strauch transferred from
Southwestern Oklahoma State University in Weatherford to take advantage of OSU’s chemical engineering program.
Dogget said Strauch did a good job balancing a full-time course load while working and being a mother.
“(Strauch) was very proud of being a mother,” Dogget said. “She was devoted, so this is just a tragic event.
“She was very fond of her boy, and she enjoyed mother-hood.”
Steve Spradling, OSU Park-ing and Transportation Ser-vices director, helped create a GoFundMe page Sunday asking for donations to help Strauch pay for medical bills and Lucas’ memorial service. After only 10 hours, 646 people donated $28,465.
Boyles said the best way to help Strauch and her family is to be respectful during this time of grieving and to raise awareness of the GoFundMe campaign.
Marty Lockstone, funeral home employee, said the Lock-stone Funeral Home in Weath-erford is handling Lucas’ funeral proceedings.
“She doesn’t deserve this at all,” Boyles said. “You don’t expect it to happen. You just really don’t know what to think, I guess.”
Lucas’ funeral will be at 2 p.m. Wednesday at First Bap-tist Church in Weatherford.

Audible gasps filled a Payne County courtroom after Special District Judge Katherine Thomas set Adacia Avery Chambers’ bond at $1 million Monday.
Stillwater police arrested Cham-bers, 25, on a charge of driving under the influence after she report-edly drove a 2014 Hyundai Elantra through a crowd at the Oklahoma State Sea of Orange Parade on Saturday. Three people died at the scene, and a toddler later died at a hospital in Oklahoma City. Cham-bers appeared at the hearing by video from the Payne County Jail.
“It’s better than no bond at all,” said Tony Coleman, Chambers’ attorney, after the hearing.
Coleman said he believes a $1 million bond is unreasonable and asked Thomas to set bond at $250,000.
“That was an arbitrary number that I threw out that was signifi-cantly less than the million dollar (bond),” Coleman said. “I don’t believe that her family can even post the $250,000 bond.”
Payne County District Attorney Laura Thomas argued that Cham-bers’ presented a high-flight risk and was a threat to the community. Coleman disagreed.
The judge granted Laura Thomas an additional two weeks to formally file charges, which she said she believes will consist of four counts of second-degree murder, among other counts, which will depend on the severity of the surviving victims’ injuries.
Laura Thomas said there is a possibility a fifth person will die from injuries suffered during the crash.
Coleman filed a motion for Chambers to undergo a psycho-logical evaluation, which Thomas granted.
“It’s extremely crucial that (Chambers) receive an evaluation as quickly as possible so we can rule out all other possibilities,” Coleman said. “I’m hoping to con-firm some of my suspicions in that I think there is clearly something wrong with her.”
Coleman said he is concerned about Chambers’ psychological
fitness. “She’s in what I call, ‘a flat ef-
fect state’ — pretty much nonre-sponsive,” he said. “Her answers and responses to me are inappropri-ate, they’re inconsistent, they raise concern. For example, I, again, mentioned to her that people were actually killed in this, and it had zero to no effect on her at all.”
Chambers’ blood was drawn and will be tested, Coleman said. He said it could take 90 to 120 days to get the results back.
Coleman said Chambers had been hospitalized for mental health issues on two occasions. He said he did not know the details of the events, but said he will be subpoe-naing those records.
Coleman said Chambers was most recently hospitalized for two weeks at a Wagoner mental health facility about two years ago.
Chambers’ family held a news conference before the event and talked with members of the media on their way to the courtroom.
Jesse Gaylord, Chambers’ boyfriend, said life seemed to be getting better for the couple before the crash. Saturday, Gaylord said everything was normal before she left for work that morning.
“I hugged her and kissed her and said, ‘Have a good day at work,’” Gaylord said.
Lynda Branstetter, Chambers’ aunt, said she was with her Friday night.
“I was with her at the Walkaround on Friday, and she was totally happy,” Branstetter said. “We laughed, we had fun and we hung out all evening.”
She began to cry as she talked about not attending the vigils.
“I wanted to come to the vigils, but I didn’t know how we would be perceived,” Branstetter said. “Our hearts go out to those families. As a parent, one of your worst night-mares would be to lose a child. I can’t imagine. I can’t imagine.”
Chambers’ father, Floyd, said he is heartbroken.
“I don’t know that there is a word in the English language to say anything that could make that
better,” Floyd said. “What do you say to people? My heart goes out for (the victims). That my child is the one that caused all this — that’s not how I wanted my name put out there.
“Everyone in my town calls me mister football. Now, I’m the father of a child who injured those people and killed four. I don’t know what else to say.”
Chambers’ next court hearing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Nov. 13.

Keke Abai has gone through more at 10 years old than most have in their lives.
But Saturday, his sister got the worst of it.
Tuesday, the Oklahoma State women’s soccer team presented Keke and Mwende Abai with cleats, balloons and other good-ies for the hardships they dealt with after Satur-day’s homecoming parade tragedy. Keke stood with crutches and a boot on his right leg, while Mwende had to wear a neck brace.
The two, members of the Stillwater Soccer Club and ball kids for the Cowgirl soccer team, laughed and played as if everything was perfectly fine. This must have come from the resiliency of their strong family.
Clement Abai, Keke and Mwende’s father, is a na-tive of Papua New Guinea and came to the U.S. on a track scholarship to Tulane, where he special-ized in the half-marathon. Clement met his wife, Mumbe, at Tulane, where the two lived together in New Orleans.
A few months after Keke was born, the fam-
ily’s first tragedy took place. Hurricane Katrina killed more than 1,800 people, but luckily the Abais decided to leave the city before the hurricane hit.
“It’s just unbelievable — not in a good way,” Clement said. “The whole experience, just leaving there and then it hap-pened. … We left early to go to Dallas to spend the weekend with our friends. We basically didn’t go back to New Orleans.”
The family went back to New Orleans months later to pick up the pieces they left behind.
“It was just so weird, like a whole new place,” Clement said. “My God, everything was dead. Everything was grey — not brown, but grey. It felt like a bomb had exploded and whiped everything out.”
Mumbe studied human development at Tulane and continued her degree at LSU-Shreveport after Katrina, before an oppor-tunity presented itself for Mumbe to continue her studies at OSU.
“I was a Ph.D. student and my adviser, she and her husband had got posi-tions here at Oklahoma State University,” Mumbe said. “So I had the oppor-tunity to continue study-ing with her, and I have a lot of respect for her, and I wanted to continue working with her.”
The Abais continued their lives in Stillwater as Keke and Mwende started picking up soccer after Mumbe told Clement
that Keke couldn’t play football.
It has worked out well for the Cowgirls.
“I think it’s pretty cool,” OSU coach Colin Carmichael said. “Those kids come and get auto-graphs. I’ve heard from numerous people it’s a really big deal for the kids to be a ball kid here.”
Like many children, Keke and Mwende were at the homecoming pa-rade Saturday with their parents. Family in tow, Mwende had rollerblades on her feet and a helmet on her head.
“We were enjoying the parade; the parade was lovely,” Mumbe said. “We were having a lot of fun.”
The fun quickly came to an end after a car smashed through a crowd of people

watching the festivities. “It was very quick,”
Mumbe said. “… From nowhere, it felt like a rush of wind all of a sudden, and then it was utter silence. Gush of wind. Bang. Complete silence.
“Then, like in a movie, looking around at bodies and blood and everything awful you could possibly imagine.”
Clement, Keke and Mwende were injured during the incident, while Mumbe stood farther back in the crowd.
“We were basically up in the front,” Clement said. “The thing I heard next was a loud explosion. It happened so fast. I hear
people screaming on my left.
“When I turned, all I saw was a black shadow and bodies flying. My mind was trying to reg-ister (the shadow), but it never did.”
Clement later real-ized the shadow he saw was the car that did the damage. As he got hit, he said it felt as if time stopped and everything was momentarily silent as everyone got reoriented.
“I don’t remember get-ting hit; I just remember getting up,” Clement said. “At that moment, it felt like time stopped and then it was quiet. … I don’t know if a body hit me or the car. I just don’t know.”
Mumbe managed to
get Keke, who had blood running down his face, but Mwende was nowhere to be seen.
“The next thing I remember is that my daughter is gone,” Clem-ent said. “… I looked straight under the car, and I couldn’t see anything. I started shaking. I shouted. I screamed.”
Clement finally found Mwende. The 6-year-old lay unconscious, face down in the street.
“I was going through the worst-ever feeling,” Clement said, tears form-ing in his eyes. “I grabbed her and turned her around, and she was basically life-less in front of me. I tried to call her name.
“I just thought ‘She’s
gone.’”First responders were
quick to the scene, where they took Mwende from her father and began do-ing what they could to save her. Finally, Clement heard Mwende take in a big breath, and she began screaming as they stuck an IV in her.
Mwende was finally conscious and able to move her upper body, but her lower body remained limp.
After a few moments, the medical staff noticed her knees starting to move. They then took her cracked rollerblades off and she was able to wiggle her toes.
Mwende was one of the first flown via Mede-
vac helicopter to the OU Children’s Hospital in Oklahoma City.
Clement and Keke went to Stillwater Medical Cen-ter and were released later that day. Clement had some bruising and a sore hip, and Keke had a cut on his right big toe that required 20 stitches.
Mwende was released from OU Medical Center on Sunday afternoon. She had many bumps and bruises, as well as a concussion.
Luckily, she wore her helmet.
“I think the biggest thing, though, that stands out from the event, I mean, how awful it was, then how quick everyone responded and helped
out,” Mumbe said. “First responders were every-where. Soldiers had just gone through. People had responded and helped out. It was overwhelmingly wonderful. People pulled out blankets; we had an OU and an OSU blanket on us at the same time. It was nice.
“People have been so good and so kind and reached out to us in ways that we could never have imagined. We ap-preciate it so much, and we keep praying for those who didn’t end up with as great as a fortune as we did.
“Most of all, I thank God that I still have my family,” Clement said.

Oklahoma State back-up quarterback J.W. Walsh woke up Satur-day a football player.
His agenda had one focus: beat the Kansas Jayhawks at 2:30 p.m. Walsh woke up at The
Atherton Hotel on the OSU campus with the game on his mind. A game that his family traveled from Texas to watch and to take in homecoming festivities. As usual, he attended a pregame meeting with other players and the coaches that morning.
That was the last thing Walsh did as a football player.
He exited the meet-ing, still with a pre-game mindset, when a teammate, after hearing about it from his girl-friend, informed Walsh of the tragedy. The
teammate’s girlfriend explained how a woman drove through a crowd of people who were en-joying the homecoming parade, leaving a site of terror in her wake.
Walsh stuttered as he thought about the mo-ment.
“It just immediately took my breath away,” Walsh said. “… When you hear that, you almost expect it to be kind of blown way out of proportion. It’s like somebody just saw an accident and just kind of went overboard and

went crazy. (The team-mate’s girlfriend) was spot on. That’s what’s crazy. That’s what’s ter-rible about it. “
Walsh was no longer only a football player. He became like every other OSU student and quickly started thinking about his family. He worried about their safety, as thousands of others did for their family and friends visit-ing Stillwater during its busiest day of the year.
“(My family) just popped in my head, and I was just mak-ing sure that they were safe,” Walsh said. “Nothing had happened to them. As soon as I realized that they probably weren’t even in town yet, (I started think-ing about) the whole team. I know ev-erybody has people coming up. You think about your family, my imme-diate family, then my next immediate family is this football team. Everybody came to mind.”
Four hours after the incident, which left four dead and several injured, Walsh and the other OSU football players had to play a game with the tragedy in the back of their minds. The team made its way to Boone Pickens Stadium from the hotel during a silent walk. The Cowboy Marching Band tradition-ally plays during “The
Walk,” but not this time. The players only heard the sounds of scream-ing fans desperate for a distraction.
That’s when Walsh took on the role of healer.
Five times, Walsh gave 59,486 Cowboy fans in attendance and thousands more at home watching a reason to cheer during a tragedy. Five moments where heartache wasn’t a main thought.
Walsh accounted for five touchdowns in
OSU’s 58-10 victory over Kansas. He ran the ball for 24 yards and three scores. Walsh also completed all five of his pass attempts, including a pair of touchdowns to Chris Lacy.
“We used the game to shed a little light on it, to ease the pain or just to get people’s minds off the situa-tion for maybe just the couple of hours that
the game was going on,” Walsh said. “We’ll continue to do that throughout the season, and hopefully, we can slowly, maybe, help that process.”
Walsh continued to help off the field by visiting victims at OU Medical Center in Oklahoma City on Monday with 49 other OSU student-athletes. He also attended the university’s candlelight vigil, which honored the victims Sunday night.
As a resident of Stillwater, Walsh has also helped himself. He’s lived in Stillwater for five years and has now experienced two tragedies as part of the com-munity. Walsh was a true freshman in 2011 when a plane crash killed four members of the Cowboy fam-ily. Each tragedy shakes the com-munity, but band-ing together during heartache is what
makes Stillwater so strong.
“It’s hard to explain just because you see it at random times how great of a place this is,” Walsh said. “… Every-body here, I keep saying it, has each other’s back. You can feel it walking around campus. You can feel it walking around town.”
