Marjerrison, who also served as information technology director for the Plains School District for about 15 years, was killed when his car crossed the centerline on U.S. 93 near Arlee -- a small community north of Missoula -- at approximately 4:30 p.m, Wednesday and struck an oncoming pickup truck. Montana State Police are still investigating.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with Kenny's immediate family and friends, as well as his extended family of the Montana wrestling community," said Plains Schools superintendent Tom Chisholm.
"We [Plains School] have allowed faculty members some time this morning to grieve, then we will slowly move into the school day and week. We have also organized outside staff and counselors to assist students and staff should they need grief assistance as it may necessitate," he added.
Chisholm described Marjerrison as a coach and staff member whose life touched many throughout Montana.
"If you looked at the concentric rings, he was the center of many rings that overlapped," the superintendent told KRTV.com. "I've witnessed phone calls where he touched wrestling communities, he touched private industry, he touched education, all simultaneously sometimes. And being a family man, and coming from a strong nuclear family and a generational family, in the community, that's not withstanding. It's a tragedy."
Marjerrison leaves behind a wife and two young children.
A funeral service will be held Saturday, Nov. 5 at 2 p.m. at Plains High School, 412 Rittenour St. in Plains, according to a post on the Facebook page of John Scott Stiegler, superintendent at Lone Rock School.
