UPDATE: Purdue has changed the date of its candlelight memorial for Tyler Trent to Wednesday at 6 p.m. in front of Hovde Hall. Trent's celebration of life service will be held at College Park Church in Carmel on Tuesday at 6 p.m.

Purdue University spokesman Tim Doty released the following statement on Purdue superfan Tyler Trent's passing Tuesday afternoon.

"The world lost a great Boilermaker in Tyler Trent," the statement read. "Anyone who spent time with him or heard his story in one of the countless national media accounts knows he was a remarkable young man, someone whose record of accomplishment was far longer than most people can accrue in many decades of life.

"We mourn with Tyler's family and the entire Purdue community, and invite all to attend a candlelight memorial on Tuesday, January 8 at 6 p.m. outside Hovde Hall to honor Tyler's life and the lives of all those who are battling cancer and those who are working to find a cure."

Purdue President Mitch Daniels also released a video, in which he describes Trent's legacy as a Boilermaker.
