Former McComb Tiger and current San Francisco 49ers cornerback Charvarius Ward announced that his daughter Amani Joy passed away Monday morning.
Ward released a statement on Facebook regarding his daughter's life:
"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'll miss you and love you forever, Amani Joy."
Please keep Charvarius and the entire Ward family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
