Griffin Sommer, 29, of Marble Falls has died from his injuries after being hit by a vehicle while attempting to cross U.S. 281 on foot at the Third Street intersection.
According to a Marble Falls Police Department media release, the accident happened at 8:21 p.m. April 3 when Sommer crossed the highway while southbound traffic had a greenlight. The vehicle’s driver reportedly stopped to render aid, and first responders were on the scene within minutes of the collision. Sommer was transported to Dell Seton Medical Center in Austin by helicopter in critical condition. He died on April 23.
Sommer was an active member of the Hill Country Community Theatre in Cottonwood Shores. After the accident, while Sommer was still in critical condition, HCCT directors Heidi and Daniel Melton established a GoFundMe account to raise money for expenses.
“Daniel and I have been in close contact with Griffin’s mother, and it’s clear that the family is now facing the unimaginable,” the Meltons wrote on the GoFundMe page. “Griffin has the warmest heart and a soul full of light. He has always been the first to offer a helping hand, and now it’s our turn to show up for him and his family. If you’re able, please consider making a donation. Every little bit helps. And if you’re not in a position to give, we ask that you share this campaign and keep Griffin and his family in your thoughts and prayers.”

This makes me so terribly sad.
This is just heart-breaking. Griffin was such a warm soul. Even on days when we had no events scheduled at the Uptown Theatre, he would come by just to hang out. He LOVED performing arts, and he was there for almost every act we had scheduled. RIP, buddy.
Rest in Peace, Griffin. You were a fantastic person and an awesome friend. You will be missed.
