ENID, OK (June 10, 2020) — For the first time, Groendyke Transport has awarded three recipients for the Jonathan Luevano Memorial Scholarship. This year’s recipients are Kailey Davis, of Angleton, Texas; Anna Smith, of Gastonia, N.C.; and Lorraine Lowrey, of El Dorado, Kan.
The scholarship honors the memory of Jonathan Luevano, a young driver at Groendyke’s Fort Worth, Texas, terminal who was shot and killed on May 7, 2015 while delivering fuel to a local convenience store. To keep Jonathan’s memory and giving spirit alive, the tank trucking company started the scholarship for children and grandchildren of its employees.
“We are very proud of each of this year’s recipients,” said Groendyke Transport president and CEO Greg Hodgen. “It’s important to us as a company to keep Jonathan’s spirit alive. He represented Groendyke with complete professionalism, and his helpful spirit inspired coworkers, customers, family and friends alike. We are tremendously privileged to carry on his spirit by helping Kailey, Anna and Lorraine achieve their academic goals.”
