A Message from the Family of Tayra McFarlane
12/17/2018 8:47:00 AM | Men's Basketball
Below is a message from the family of Tayra McFarlane-Shannon, mother of Gophers senior Dupree McBrayer who passed away tragically from cancer earlier this month. With the assistance of Gopher fans and supporters, more than $15,000 was raised in a 24-hour span to pay for Tayra's funeral and other final expenses.
The Shannon family would like to thank the University of Minnesota, staff, faculty as well as fans for all the love and support for Dupree.
We thank Coach Richard Pitino, his staff and the basketball team players for attending Tayra's funeral in support of Dupree.
We kindly thank Caitlin Mahoney for her tremendous help for raising donations helping with funeral expenses.
We appreciate each and every one at The University of Minnesota (fans as well) for supporting our family and Dupree at this difficult time.
Thank you all and God Bless.
Sincerely yours,
The family of Dupree McBrayer
