RIP Kobe Bryant, one of the greatest NBA players of all-time

[Gnarwhal]

Bryant and four others were killed Sunday morning when his private helicopter went down near Calabasas, CA. He was a legend of the game. He was raised Catholic and from what I understand became more involved with the faith later in his career, or after he retired. He was a 5x champion with the Lakers and held several NBA records. I'll never forget his 81-point performance against the Raptors in 2006.

He was a practicing Catholic and leaves behind a wife and four daughters (including a newborn), he was 41 years old.

Requiem aeternam dona ei, Domine
Et lux perpetua luceat ei
Requiescat in pace.
Amen.

Prayers for his wife, daughters and all who knew and loved him. So tragic.

Man, looks like his 4 daughters were on there with him. Wowee.

I don't think anyone's reporting his daughters died too. At last check, the identities of the other occupants are unknown.

 

[Michie]

I don’t think his wife and children were on board from everything I read so far.
