MEMPHIS, TN- (WMC-TV) - A man who sacrificed his life for a friend is being honored Friday. Memphian Andrew Svgdik died in a crash last week.

Officials in Chattanooga said he pushed a girl out of the way when a car crashed into him.

19-year-old Andrew Svgdik was a graduate of Christian Brothers High School.

Friends said he was a friend who could make everyone laugh. He had musical talent and was an encouraging teammate on the soccer field. It is certainly fitting that they honor him at the very place where he inspired them.

When you lose someone you love, it often makes you realize what really matters.

"If anybody ever needed help Andrew would be there," said coach Rogerio Lima.

When the Christian Brothers Community lost Andrew Svgdik, they came together.

For some it is comforting to know that he was killed saving someone's life.

MEMPHIS, TN- (WMC-TV) - The body of missing Germantown teacher Heather Palumbo-Jones was recovered in the area of Collierville-Arlington Road and Highway 64 in Memphis Tuesday night.

Family said it has been the hardest week of their life as they waited for answers, trying not to fear the worst – until they learned she was found dead.

"It's difficult to live with," said Heather's grandmother Betty Palumbo.

Heather Palumbo-Jones was Betty and Frank Palumbo's first granddaughter.

"It's been the most difficult week of my life," said Frank.
