'I don’t think he fully grasped how many lives he changed': Chapel Hill remembers Eric Montross

Posted Jan 10, 2024
Travis Stephenson, Eric Montross’ best friend and former UNC teammate, said Montross approached his battle with cancer as he did all things — he was all in. His legacy will revolve around the people Montross impacted. "Eric, he goes into a room, and when he leaves, the light doesn’t dim back to what it was. He has that longer-lasting impression on people." (Daily Tar Heel)
