Friends and family of 15-year-old Matt Kocher, who died after being pulled from Lake Michigan Saturday, gathered Monday night to honor his memory. A crowd clad in Victor J. Andrew's black and gold filed into the park next door to St. Elizabeth Seton Church in Orland Hills. Many athletes wore shirts with "RIP Kocher" taped across the back. The vigil began around 8 p.m.
