Jim Duniven, a long-time soccer official, collapsed and died Oct. 4 at a KHS varsity boys’ soccer game at Lindbergh High School. According to a stltoday.com article, Duniven had just issued a yellow card when he collapsed near the penalty area. Chris Steinmetz, varsity coach, assisted in giving CPR on the field. Players from both teams formed a circle in the middle of the field, linked arms and knelt on the ground in prayer, Steinmetz said. Duniven was officially pronounced dead after being taken to the hospital.

Jim was a dedicated father and loving husband. He spent many hours working tirelessly for the High School Soccer Referees Association. He was a friend and will be missed dearly!
