Reggie White dies of heart attack

December 26, 2004
BRISTOL, Connecticut (Ticker) - Defensive end Reggie White, a lock for the Pro Football Hall of Fame who retired as the NFL's all-time sacks leader in 2000, died early Sunday of a heart attack at his home near Huntersville, North Carolina, ESPN reported.

White turned 43 last week.

Nicknamed "The Minister of Defense," White had 198 career sacks with the Philadelphia Eagles (1985-92), Green Bay Packers (1993-98) and Carolina Panthers (2000).

White went to two Super Bowls with Green Bay, winning a ring following the 1996 season.

"Today our beloved husband, father and friend passed away," White's wife, Sara, said in a statement, the network reported. "His family appreciates your thoughts and prayers as we mourn the loss of Reggie White. We want to thank you in advance for honoring our privacy."

He seemed like a nice guy and very giving to the community.He'll be missed

Reggie White was not only a class act, but probably the best Defensive End ever.

I loved the guy. He WILL be missed.

 

[BoneCrusher]

Damn. That is tragic. His family needed him at such a young age too. He will be missed ...

I agree with ya Camaro. He is the best bar none. In 60 years people will be making movies about the attempts at breaking his records.

Sad.

He was too young to die. No doubt he'll be missed. R.I.P., Reggie.

Rest in Peace







Shouldn't Johnnny have started this thread.

"another tragic, unbelievable, horrific, unneeded death in the world"
hehe, sorry johnny just think you let your emotions get the best of you sometimes.

It is sad, he was great. I think he actually died of respiratory failure due to sleep apnea. I had a friend who died at 27 of the same thing.

 

[Johnnny]

God bless Reggie White.

My cousin who was also a large DT had the pleasure of meeting of meeting this amazing individual.

He is apparently one of the nicest guys you'll meet.

RIP Reggie White. You will be missed.

Nobody's going to ask if it was juice-related, as it was reported near the end of his career?

R.I.P.



To me he just looked like one of those natural big guys.

R.I.P. Reggie White, he is already missed as I enjoyed watching him play.....

The sony playstation commercial with Joe Montana comes to mind where he keeps
repeating "REGGIE WHITE" as the answer to every question

I think the fact that pro athletes are finely tuned machines working out, running, practicing every day of their life and eating strict as possible. Then once they retire they cut out all fitness and nutrition and they shock their bodies. Just look at Barkley when he retired he ballooned up to 300 pounds in a month.

He MUST'VE died from steroids. There's NO way he could've had such a good swim-move without being all hopped up on juice

In all seriousness, he seemed like a great guy, and no doubt a helluva football player.

RIP, Reggie

No offense to anyone who uses steroids, but Reggie would have probably viewed anything illegal as against God's will, and we all know how dedicated Reggie was to his beliefs. The man was Integrity defined.

I agree with that statement.

Reggie quit going to church years ago. Who knows how religious he was at his death.

Are you sure about that?

 

[musclepump]

Yep. He quit church and started studying Hebrew.

 

[min0 lee]

Yep. He quit church and started studying Hebrew.

I see...............

 

[tucker01]

It wasn't that he quit church he started to study hebrew so he could read the scriptures and interpt religion himself instead of being read it.
