Texas Lutheran University is coming together this week to mourn the devastating loss of two student-athletes, A’Jean Augustine and Deyreck Dean, who were killed in a Seguin crash. The university’s Bulldog community is absolutely heartbroken by this tragedy, with the school stating that the Bulldog Family is “devastated by the loss of two of our own.”
Remembering Augustine and Dean
A memorial service for 20-year-old Augustine, from Houston, and 23-year-old Dean, from Rockwall, is set for Thursday, November 5, at 11 a.m. in Jackson Auditorium. This gathering will give students, faculty, staff, teammates, and loved ones an opportunity to celebrate their lives, grieve their absence, and pray for their families, according to the university. A short reception will follow the service. For those unable to attend in person, the university is providing a livestream.
What Happened Early Monday
Police confirm that Augustine and Dean died early Monday, November 2, in a single-vehicle crash on State Highway 46 in Seguin. The preliminary police report states that around 2:38 a.m. in the 1900 block of State Highway 46 North, a 2012 Kia Sorento was traveling southbound at a high rate of speed. The driver lost control, crossed into the northbound lanes, and struck a guardrail. Both occupants were pronounced dead at the scene.
Augustine was an active junior kicker on the 2026 football team. Dean previously played for the team as a senior linebacker, with his athletic eligibility ending after the 2025 season. Both were beloved members of the university community, and their loss will be felt across campus. This week is all about coming together, remembering Augustine and Dean, and supporting their families through an unimaginable time.
