Our condolence’s go out to the Ward family
San Francisco 49ers cornerback Charvarius Ward suffered heartbreaking news and a tragic loss on Monday. ESPN’s Adam Schefter announced Charvarius and Monique Ward’s daughter, Amani Joy, passed away.
Here’s Ward’s message from his Instagram:
“We are heartbroken that our beautiful baby girl, Amani Joy, passed away on Monday morning. She was the best blessing we could have asked for, and her joyous spirit made us smile from ear to ear. She taught us to have patience, trust, and a positive outlook on life. She showed us true strength and bravery. She overcame adversity at a young age and was always happy, lighting up every room with her smile. Having the privilege of being her parents and seeing the world through her eyes has changed us for the better. She will forever be Daddy’s best friend and Mommy’s little girl. We will miss you and love you forever, Amani Joy.”
Last year, Ward took to his Instagram the day Amani Joy was scheduled to have open-heart surgery.
A week later, Ward thanked everyone for their prayers and support as Amani had a successful surgery and was on her road to recovery.
Our condolences go out to the Wards, as there’s no way to understand what they’re going through unless it’s a tragedy you’ve suffered personally. We wish him and his family nothing but the best.
The 49ers released a statement:
“The 49ers family is devastated by the sudden passing of Charvarius Ward’s beloved one-year-old daughter, Amani Joy. Amani truly embodied pure happiness and brought joy to all those around her with her sweet demeanor and contagious laugh. We will continue to grieve with Charvarius and Monique while sending them our love and support during this unimaginable time.”
