Here is a just-released statement from Eagles coach Andy Reid (on behalf of the Reid family) regarding the death of Garrett Reid:
On behalf of Tammy and our family, I would like to thank everybody
for their tremendous support, love, kind words and prayers during this
time of great sadness. Words cannot express our sense of loss.
We loved Garrett so much. He was a wonderful son and brother. He
made us laugh, he was a pleasure to be around, he always had a smile on
his face, and we will miss him dearly. We will never forget him, and we
will remember him with love.
Garrett’s road through life was not always an easy one. He faced
tremendous personal challenges with bravery and spirit. As a family, we
stood by him and were inspired as he worked to overcome those
challenges. Even though he lost the battle that has been ongoing for the
last eight years, we will always remember him as a fighter who had a
huge, loving heart.
I spoke with the team yesterday and thanked them for their thoughts
and prayers. I asked them to continue with their preparations for the
upcoming season until I am ready to rejoin the team.
It is in times like these that we lean on our faith, our family, our
friends, and our Eagles family. We will do so in the difficult times
ahead.
Thank you again for your continued support.
Andy Reid
