DMadSport Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Justin Skaggs, who was in his 2nd season with the Utah Blaze in the AFL, passed away this afternoon (6/15) after emergency brain surgery. Skaggs was diagnosed earlier this month with non-operable malignant tumors in his brain.More info here from the Salt Lake Tribune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulanebc Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Wow, I am in shock here. My thoughts, prayers and condolences are with the Skaggs family and his two children. this is such a shame that such a healthy and vital young man who is the EXACT same age as I am can be taken away so quickly. In Pace Requiescate Justin. If you inherit Randy Johnson's facial genes, he owes you $97,000 at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Justin's sister graduated with me last year.I knew her brother played pro football (I believe he was with the Redskins at one point), but because they have different last names and he was already working on his career when she moved into the district, I didn't recognize by name that this was him.Such news truly is terrible. As tulancebc said, a young man with so much (a family, a great talent, etc.) losing his life so suddenly is a huge shame.My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
