Northwest Missouri State will remember a student who died in September with an honorary bell ringing.

The Bell ringing is scheduled for Friday December 14th on the Northwest campus.

“The Northwest community has been greatly impacted by Tomarken’s passing this fall,” Northwest President Dr. John Jasinski said. “He was deeply engaged in the University culture through his coursework, membership in his fraternity and as a student employee.”

21-year-old Tomarken Smith died September 14th after an alleged fight outside a Maryville bar.

Kevin Mooney and Tony Overlin, both of Bethany, face charges for Smith’s death.

A preliminary hearing was Tuesday for Mooney in Nodaway County court. He’s charged with 2nd degree murder and 1st Degree Assault in Smith’s death.

Tony Overlin faces the same charges. His preliminary hearing is set for December 17th.

Smith died at the hospital in Maryville after hitting his head while falling during the alleged fight, according to court documents.

He will be remembered with the bell ringing at 10:30 Friday morning on the Northwest Campus. The Bell of ’48 is near the university Administration Building and is rung in memory of any member of the university community.

Smith will also receive a posthumous degree at next weeks commencement ceremony.
