Retired linebacker’s wife dies one month after their wedding

One month after getting married, former NFL linebacker Chris Draft lost his wife today after a long bout with breast cancer. She was so weakened by the disease that she was in a wheelchair for the private wedding, just one month before she died.

According to yahoo-Draft, who played most of his 12-year career in Atlanta, released a statement on his wife on their family foundation website.

Not just an inspiration, but a light, and a force that led the way with a beautiful, sweet smile and bright shining eyes that both belied the pure steel of her strength and determination.

Strong is too pale, too shallow and too small of a word to describe Keasha's vibrancy… Quite simply, she was ferocious. She fiercely held onto life, and love with a forcefulness that was absolutely awe-inspiring and completely breathtaking. Rest in peace, Mrs. Draft.
