The death of 16-year-old Jasper High School junior Jasmyn E. Lorey was verified as occurring on Oct. 24, 2025, at 9:01 a.m. at Deaconess Memorial Medical Center in Jasper. Multiple local sources, including an obituary posted by Becher & Kluesner Funeral Home and reports from Dubois County Free Press, WEVV 44News and WITZ 104.7 FM, confirmed the report between Oct. 24 and Oct. 27. No cause of death has been made public.
Lorey, born Nov. 11, 2008, in Clarksville, Indiana, was active in school and church life in Jasper. She served as manager of the Jasper High School wrestling team, was a former cheerleader, and had been an active member of Redemption Christian Church since her baptism there on Aug. 26, 2019. She is survived by her parents, Adam and Jayme Lorey, a sister, Jalynn, and a brother, Julian.
Visitation for Lorey was scheduled at Redemption Christian Church on Oct. 28 from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., with additional visitation on Oct. 29 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., followed by a funeral service at 11:00 a.m. and burial at Fairview Cemetery. Those arrangements, outlined in the funeral home obituary and local news reports, form the immediate focal point for family, classmates and the wider Jasper community.
The loss has reverberated through school activities and church programs in Dubois County, a tight-knit area where youth participation and family networks are central to daily life. Social media postings and community messages have reflected shared memories and calls for support, showing the informal networks that often provide interim relief for grieving families in rural communities. At the same time, the situation highlights gaps in formal emotional and counseling services available locally; reports did not specify whether Jasper High School had announced any grief counseling or other official supports for students and staff.
Beyond immediate mourning, the event underscores questions that local leaders and families may consider in the weeks ahead: how to ensure access to bereavement services and mental-health resources for adolescents in a rural county, and whether schools and churches have established protocols for sudden losses among students. Those elements remain to be verified, along with any official statements from Jasper High School regarding counseling provisions.
For residents seeking confirmation or further details, the funeral home obituary and local media reports remain the primary sources of information. As the community prepares for services and supports the Lorey family, the episode has prompted reflection on the social fabric of Jasper and the practical supports available when tragedy touches a young life.
