This is an incredibly tragic situation, and it’s also a blunt reminder that nothing is guaranteed in life. You can have everything in front of you and it all can be snatched away in the blink of an eye.
Men in their 30s aren’t supposed to be dying, especially when they’re in the shape of a pro athlete.
