It is with profound sadness that Cobden Unit School District #17 learned of the sudden and tragic passing of former student Mariana Fabian in a car accident.

Mariana will always be remembered as a member of our Cobden school family. The loss of a young life is heartbreaking, and our thoughts are with Mariana’s family, friends, and all those who knew and loved her during this incredibly difficult time.

We know that news of this tragedy may deeply affect our students, staff, and community. We will continue to support one another and provide care and compassion to those who are grieving.

Our hearts are with the Fabian family. Once an Appleknocker, always an Appleknocker. We will hold Mariana’s memory close and keep her loved ones in our thoughts and prayers.
