Gage Eric Eup

Age 18

Terre Haute, Indiana

“Always ready for a new adventure”

Two sisters, two brothers, a mother and a father made up his family. He had just graduated from Terre Haute North High School. Originally planning to enlist in the army, he ended up going to culinary school. He was “always ready for a new adventure.”

That Sunday night, he headed over to his friend’s house “to hang out.” He was told that if he did not change the song on the television his friend would shoot him. He was warned.

Gage Eric Eup, 18, was allegedly shot dead by Dylan Morgan on August 5, 2018 in Terre Haute, Indiana, over a song.
