Young son and another child on the way.

I honestly can’t get my head around it.

An incredible journalist and proud Father and husband. He was in the prime of his life at 43. RIP and prayers to his young family.

So sad yet a reminder to ALL...we are NOT Guaranteed we'll wake up...or even make it home every day.

Tell your loved ones you love them, every day and Love the Lord, to know your destination.

I’m sick over this. This news wrecked me last night.

Devastating news!

Dang. I was hoping that this was just some sort of rumor. My heart hurts for his family and friends. I always enjoyed his coverage of the Vols.

Just reassures me that win and losses on the field are meaningless compared to the game of life.

Prayers to the Rucker family and especially his son, wife and unborn daughter whom will never know the pleasure of being raised by a man who loved her so dearly...


May the Lord be with them at this time of mourning....

Young son and another child on the way.

I honestly can’t get my head around it.

God bless his family and their support system!!!!

When you think what you say and do doesn’t affect others, think again! So many people outpouring support for his family and unborn child is proof of our spiritual connection to others, even people we are not personal friends with!

Terrible news. Prayers for his family.

He was so good to kirby and our family. He always spent time with Kirby and Zander and their antics. He would always speak to us on his way in or out of the postgame press conferences. He truly loved his job but greater loved his family.

Just awful news. I still can't even believe it's real.

Tragic reminder that every day is a gift from God.
My prayers of comfort for his entire family.

Golly sometimes life just isn’t fair. I remember he had a stroke and had to learn how to walk again. He had a wife and young child with another on the way. He was a Vol through and through. Does anyone know of a gofundme has been set up yet?

Geez we went through Knoxville almost 24 hours earlier coming back from the Mtns.

You have these idiots driving 80 mph and weaving in and out of traffic on I-40. Its amazing we don't have more tragedies like these.

Deepest sympathy to the family.

Yes, one is set up. According to the write up Wes did not have life insurance as he was still working through the new job transition.

It has become a major traffic issue all across Tennessee. I live in the western part of the state and its epidemic. I THINK all the state troopers newly assigned in this area have made a slight difference (very slight). Speed is an absolute killer, especially when approaching an unseen traffic accident with traffic at a stand still on the interstate.

20 minutes ago they had already gotten over $20K. It's already grown to about $54K at last check.
