Services Set For Griffin Lang, Beloved Conestoga Student

BERWYN, PA — Griffin Lang was killed in a single-vehicle crash just before midnight Saturday while driving on Contention Lane in Berwyn.

He was 17 and a junior at Conestoga High School.

A visitation is planned from 5 to 8 p.m. Monday, Oct. 10 at the Trinity Presbyterian Church of Berwyn, 640 Berwyn Ave.

A visitation is also scheduled from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, followed by a memorial service. Overflow parking available at St. Monica's Parish and the Easttown Library.

The Rev. Sarah Weisiger of Presbyterian Church said Griffin and his family joined the Trinity community when he was 3 years old.

“He grew up in our nursery; he learned the stories of God in our Sunday school,” the pastor wrote in a message to the congregation.

“So let us give thanks to God for the life of Griffin, for he lived. His life mattered,” the pastor wrote.

“He was beloved. And please join me in prayers unceasing for his parents, Donna and Joel, and his brother Brendan as they mourn.”

According to police:

• Lang was driving on Contention Road, a two-lane, windy tree-lined, street, when his vehicle crashed into a tree.
• A passenger sustained injuries and has since been released from Paoli Hospital.

A livestream of the service will be available online on YouTube on www.trinityberwyn.com.
