Memorial service for UNLV’s Gondrezick planned for Thursday

A memorial service for UNLV basketball Hall of Famer Glen Gondrezick will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday at the Thomas & Mack Center at UNLV.

Gondrezick, who received a heart transplant in September, died Monday at St. Rose Dominican Hospital in Henderson, apparently as a result of complications due to the surgery. He was 53.

Gondrezick had been suffering from heart disease for nearly 10 years. He was placed at the top of the transplant list shortly after the 2008 UNLV basketball season and finally received a donor heart on Sept. 20 of last year.
