RIP Sean Taylor 1983-2007

A very sad day today as Sean Taylor of the Washington Redskins has passed away from his injuries suffered in a burglary at home his home on Sunday night. Taylor was 24-years-old and is survived by his father, mother, step-mother and 1-year old daughter and other family members.

His girlfriend and daughter weren’t not injured in the apparent home invasion. The intruders fired two shots, one of which struck Taylor in the groin area, striking the femoral artery and causing major blood loss. He underwent hours of surgery but was unable to recover from his wounds.

This was a man who had been in trouble with the law but was turning his life around. It is a tragic event that this had to happen to someone with so much more life to live for.

My condolences go out to the entire Taylor family, his friends and his teammates with the Washington Redskins and the entire Redskins organization.
