'Everybody Feels It': Isaiah Munn, 15, Killed While Riding Bike To School

OSCEOLA, Wis. (WCCO) -- Friday night's football game didn't kick off with cheers or chants at Osceola High School. Instead, it started with silence for 15-year-old high school student Isaiah Munn, who was taken away just as his life was beginning.

Munn was riding his bike to school Thursday morning on County Road M. When exiting his driveway, he collided with a car. Munn was thrown from the bike and into a ditch.

The driver of the car stopped, telling officers that he pulled out in front of her and she didn't see him until it was too late. She also said the rising sun made it hard for her to see the teenager.

Munn was taken to Osceola Medical Center where he died from his injuries.

The sophomore participated in youth group at Osceola Community Church. Lead Pastor Larry Mederich immediately started a prayer chain after hearing the news.

"Everybody feels it. It's like shock to everybody ... to have someone that you're not gonna see tomorrow," Mederich said.

At the high school, Munn will be remembered for his warm personality.

"He was just a kid that floated from group to group and had a smile on his face all the time," Osceola High School Principal Adam Spiegel said.

Counselors will be available for students and staff throughout the coming weeks that need additional support, as they try to make sense of a life lost so suddenly.
