    43 years old. Horrific. Makes our game against them seem meaningless. Just so sad.

    No one should die at 43. Awful.

    One light in this darkness: being a coach can mean a generation of immortality. Some of his players will remember him and speak of him until they pass many decades from now.

    My high school wrestling coach...I'm in my late fifties and I think about that man several times a week.

    Shocked and saddened by this. He was one of the best young coaches in the league.
