That's terrible. I feel awful for him. Was this the same son with the drug problem a few years back?

tryfuhl · 08-05-2012, 04:20 PM

Yeah he was one of the two Reid boys with those issues.

Hog1 · 08-05-2012, 06:13 PM

Truly the...worst of worst's. I doubt I would ever...really recover from something like this. I hope AR and his family can.
My thoughts and prayers go out to he and his family.....

IMO No Father/Mother should have to bury there child. My heart goes out to them.

Mechanix544 · 08-05-2012, 09:10 PM

OMG, horrible.

So sad. Prayers going out to Andy Reid and his family. Just horrible.......

Sad he apparently couldn't overcome his problems in life. Heart goes out to Reid and his family.

Do we know how he died yet?

That just sucks. I mean I hate the Eagles but for a while now it's been obvious even to me that Reid is easily one of the nicest human beings in all of sports to the point where theres a part of me that wants to see him win a Super Bowl or two (hopefully with another team). Just humble, down to Earth, self-depreciating etc.

It pains me that he has to go through something as horrific as this.

Such a shame. Thoughts and prayers are with the Reid family. I don't have kids, but I can only imagine the horror it would be to bury a child.

Not really, but beyond homicide, my guess is that it's either going to be drug related or a suicide. I'm just jumping the assumption gun on this one, and I'll go back and take my foot out of my mouth if it turns out to be something else. No matter how he passed away, it's a sad situation regardless.

Its not jumping to conclusions. Anyone who has dealt with or been around drug addiction knows that is a very real conclusion. Even for someone who was following the right path.

Honestly I'd be shocked if it wasn't Overdose

Just saw this on the news and it really sucks.

Thats a pretty horrible thing to have to bury your own child. I dont know how I would handle it if I had to do that. My condolences to Andy Reid and his family.
