Vanderbilt Player Dies of Cancer

[Matt2496]

Vanderbilt tight end Turner Cockrell dies after year-long battle with cancer
Really, really sad story. This was the same type of cancer that killed my grandfather recently.

Also, it just goes to show that no matter what your age is, it could be your time to go. Always live life to the fullest and always be prepared for death because each and every day could be your last.
