Stuart Haverty, of Harvard, fell to his death at Soldier Field Sunday afternoon
.Sunday, Haverty fell about 35 feet from the colonnade level on the west side of the stadium, said Luca Serra, a spokesman for SMG, which runs the stadium for the Chicago Park District. Haverty, who grew up in Woodstock but had been living in Harvard, was pronounced dead a short time later at Northwestern Memorial Hospital.
About to finish a tool-making apprenticeship at a company that had employed him since high school and already living in his own home at age 23, the ambitious, affable young man was thrilled to be invited to a Bears game for the first time by his boss, Bruce Glass.
Though Haverty's family declined to comment, those who knew him in high school also recalled that combination of joviality and ambition.
Woodstock High Principal Corey Tafoya described Haverty as "a real affable and enjoyable student. … He was a kid who was making something of himself."
