truly is a sad story.

I remember them talking about this during one of UNC's games.

It's sad that he has passed on.

 

[OregonBuckeye]

That is really awful.

Sounds like he was a 21 year old kid with his whole life ahead of him and that he was someone who did a lot of charity work for kids, if you visit the UNC site. Very sad, indeed, and just weeks before he was to receive a business degree. It is a shame.

Ray's organs will be donated to the Sharing Network of New Jersey, his brother said.

Truly, the ultimate gift...

No parent should have to bury a child. Deepest condolences to his family and friends

Condolences to his friends and family. So sad.

 

[WoodyWorshiper]

What a shame. I've been following this in the newspaper for the past two days, had certaainly hoped for a better ending. Condolences to the family, it really makes the game itself seem meaningless.

I find the difference in people's reactions to this story and this one to be quite interesting.
