Take a moment to read this : Alabama Swimmer, John Servati, 21 yrs., Dies A HERO! On Monday night as tornadoes ripped through Alabama there was news of ONLY ONE fatality who was from Tuscaloosa. John Servati was a record-setting swimmer at a Tupelo, Mississippi high school. One of his dreams was to swim at Alabama. And boy, did he swim, with an intensity that Alabama team captain Phillip Deaton called “amazing.” As storms grew stronger on Monday night, John Servati did the right thing, seeking shelter alongside his girlfriend in the basement of a house in Tuscaloosa. What Servati did not expect was a retaining wall to give way. What Servati did next was to save a life, as he held up the wall long enough for his girlfriend to escape. But within seconds, Servati could hold the wall no longer. Crushed beneath the crumbled wall, Servati was pronounced dead at Druid City Hospital shortly thereafter.
