From Coach Quevedo earlier today
quote:

Ozzie Quevedo @UACoachQuevedo · 4h
“There's no doubt that John is the embodiment of what this award represents. A strong student and swimmer, an excellent teammate and a tremendous young man, he died as he lived, in service to others. He is greatly missed by everyone whose life he touched." - Dennis Pursley

Over the weekend from his hometown newspaper in Tupelo

Recalling the Tupelo Spirit of 2014

quote:

One death was reported in the aftermath. A women died when her car left the road near Verona.

Hours later, Tupelo would learn the heartbreaking news of the death of native son John Servati, a University of Alabama swimmer, who had taken shelter in Tuscaloosa with his girlfriend. A rush of flood waters as a result of the storm caused a retaining wall of their shelter to collapse. Servati died heroically as he saved the young woman.
