Good lord - 56. Sad, scary. RIP and condolences to his family and friends.

 

[Starman]

Too young. RIP

 

[KJIM]

Oh, man. So sad. This hurts.

 

[I Should Coco]

Sad news, and it sounds like a surprise death rather than a long-term illness. Too young.

Always enjoyed reading his stories and columns when I lived in Michigan. RIP.

RIP to a very good guy.

Loved getting together with him back in my NBA days of the late '80s - early '90s. We're the same age. This one sucks more than young deaths usually do.

 

[Doc Holliday]

Damn.

Hypertensive heart disease seems to be the cause, for those wondering

Very sad day in Michigan on Friday (and through the weekend, I'm sure).

Very lovely column about Drew and those absent seats in the press box.
Yeah, I know, it's by Mitch. Still very lovely.

Mitch hit this one out the park. Great column for a great guy.

 

[HanSenSE]

Agreed with everyone else. But had to giggle when he mentioned sitting with him at Final Fours.
