IN MEMORY

We mourn the passing of Eric Darity, a member of the Asheville High School Class of 2019, whose life and spirit uplifted so many. We also honor Mr. Charles Wykle, a beloved longtime teacher at Asheville High School, whose impact on generations of students will not be forgotten.

In their memory, their families have invited our community to give back in ways that reflect their lasting legacies.

Gifts made in memory of Eric Darity will support Asheville Promise, honoring his connection to opportunity and education. Gifts made in honor of Charles Wykle will support the Charles and Eleanor Wykle Scholarship, a longstanding fund with the Asheville City Schools Foundation that continues Mr. Wykle’s mission of supporting students’ excellence year after year.

You will find buttons below to donate to each fund. We are grateful for the many ways our community shows up for one another in grief, in love, and in remembrance.
