Coach Rivera's brother passes away from cancer

SJTG4 - cant believe that you said that, it dont matter. Long as the love is there. I am terribly sorry to hear this.

Pretty much this. I have family that isn't blood and blood that isn't family.

I lost so far all grandparents to cancer. Ron, you and your family in my prayers coach.

Have said it before: Cancer and the Panthers are old, bitter enemies.

That sucks. Guy can't catch a break off the field this past year.

There has been a cure for cancer for a very long time. They just don't want anyone to have it because way too many people profit off people having cancer. This is a sick world we live in.

 

lets not bring conspiracy theories into this thread

I'm shocked, saddened, and nearly speechless.  I met him before the Cardinals playoff game.  He introduced himself to me and we talked for approximately 15 minutes about football and Charlotte among other things and I sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, could not say enough about what a great man he appeared to be.  Honest, polite, humble, you name it.  Definitely from a solid military family, all of them.  Unreal.  Unfreakinreal.  RIP.  God Bless the Rivera family.

Very sad news.  My heart goes out to Ron and his family.  I think I read that he spent some time with his brother during his recent  vacation.  Sounds like the Riveras are a close family.  So it seems are the Panthers.  I am sure he will get great support from the team. Here he has great support from a fan.
