Life can be so cruel and Thursday, November 6, is one of the those days when it was announced that 24-year-old Dallas Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland’s life was tragically cut short the night before at the age of 24. Reactions poured in from all over including Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott’s fiancée Sarah Jane Ramos.

The team announced the sad news on Thursday morning in a statement:

“It is with extreme sadness that the Dallas Cowboys share that Marshawn Kneeland tragically passed away this morning. Marshawn was a beloved teammate and member of our organization. Our thoughts and prayers regarding Marshawn are with his girlfriend Catalina and his family.”

It’s hard to believe that Kneeland was just out there with his teammates on Monday Night Football vs. the Arizona Cardinals and scored a big special teams touchdown on a blocked punt.

Ramos posted on the terrible situation where she wrote on Instagram Stories, “Devastating. Please lift this family and community up with love and prayers. Rest in Peace, Marshawn.”

It’s a sad day for the Cowboys, the NFL, and the world. RIP Marshawn Kneeland.
