Did Blake lose a relative or something?

Read their recap and he was highly upset after their game tonight. Guess due to a phone call and guess he was pretty upset.

Just kinda putting pieces together from facebook, I think he heard news that Wilson Holloway has passed away. He played football at TU and had been battling cancer. I know Blake and Wilson were great friends. Wilson was a great great person. Prayers for his family.

Wilson was the kid that had to sit in the germ free room is that correct? they did like a piece on him fighting his illness last year I believe. That is terrible news

You can read more on Wilson's story here and here. The first is on his positive attitude and bringing awareness to the disease and the second was on his recovery process.

It was a battle I think many thought he was going to beat. Alas...

I know Wayman was older, but the stories really reminded me of him. Very sad.

Blake was apparently one of the pallbearers at the funeral today.

I looked up more info on Wilson, he sounded like a very special person - the TU offensive lineman and many others apparently all shaved their heads in his honor when he was beginning his fight with cancer.

very sad
