ENID, OK (May 27, 2022) — Groendyke Transport has awarded Shieun Lee and Kailey Heidloff the Jonathan Luevano Memorial Scholarship for 2022.
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.

“We honored to award this year’s deserving scholarship recipients,” said Greg Hodgen, Groendyke Transport president and CEO. “It’s important for us 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 legacy by helping Shieun and Kailey achieve their academic goals.”
