[Bert Stare]

That's terrible if true.

[Medic601]

There is some activity in Twitter saying RIP (non-Mississippi State related people)

[ScoobaDawg]

Dang it. That sucks

[MetEdDawg]

Didn't he have like 2 or 3 kids?

Just awful.

[Really Clark?]

Awful to hear. Prayers sent

[confucius say]

Damn it

[HailStateSZN19]

Terrible, terrible news. One of the greatest WR's to wear the Maroon & White.

RIP, Bear. And prayers to his family.

[gtowndawg]

Wow, you can even see a State flag on the house.

[Commercecomet24]

Just terribly sad! Prayers sent! RIP!

[dawgpound]

Terrible News. Prayers for his family

[Bass Chaser]

Damn. Hate to hear this. RIP

Damn. Never forget him playing with my son and nephews after practice one day. Proof we weren't playing the game big time by letting him leave to try to go pro. He had to try, because of money.

Best outside WR of the Mullen era

[BeardoMSU]

Awful. So sad.

[Dawg2003]

Speechless. Just awful.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Just saw it come across twitter. One of my faverite players. Thoughts to his family.

[MaroonFlounder]

When Dak hooked up with DeRunnya in the '14 Aub game to go up by multiple scores, I knew MSU was going to #1 in the country. RIP Bear.

[Bothrops]

Could have played in the NFL, regardless of his combine. He was physical and could get the ball. This is awful news.

[Liverpooldawg]

Terrible news. That TD against Auburn in 14 is one of my all time favorite sports moments.

[Bothrops]

I'm so sick of the ******* thugs and their resort to gun violence, but I guess it's part of America, and will be increasingly interwoven into our fabric for all future generations.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Just spent the last hour watching his games. Dang.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I know we all refer to him as Bear the football player. I never had the opportunity to know him as a person, but we are both Bulldogs.

[dawgday166]

Too bad about Bear. He did some great things for us at MSU.

[Huntsville Dawg]

RIP. Very sorry for his family. I loved watching him play ball at State.

[bulldawg28]

Wow...terrible

[StarkVegasSteve]

One of the most approachable players we had in the Mullen era. Never saw him turn down an autograph or picture request and he always had a smile on his face. Prayers up for his family.

[CadaverDawg]

Awful. So sad. RIP Bear

[OLJWales]

God Bless Him and His Family. I don't see how mom's and dad's deal with something like this. I personally don't know what I'd do if I lost my 15 yr old son.

[Turfdawg67]

Funny how life turns out. Wish he?d stayed one more year and was sitting in his mansion tonight. I?ll never forget that AU game in 2014 when he caught that quick slant from Dak, ran over 1-2 DBs and scored. I stared at the tv thinking ?who is this team?? Man, so tragic!

ETA... sorry about the question marks. My iPhone bricked on me the other day so my settings are all screwed up now.

A parent should never have to bury a child. Just so so sad!

[Dawgology]

I just think if he would have stayed his senior season, got one more year of development, and got his degree. Things probably would have been soooo different for him. So many time these guys get led astray by people that want to use them for a payday. I wish there was some rule that could be put in place to avoid that type of situation but at the end of the day we are all responsible for our decisions. I hate it for his family.

He got his degree at state...... and sometimes, you don't have a decision and you have to try.

[Dawgology]

Really? Did he come back?

[Tbonewannabe]

Really? Did he come back?

I remember hearing something about him coming back to get his degree a few years ago. I could have misheard but I think it was around 2016 or so.

[confucius say]

I don't know his family situation but apparently he had a child. Anybody know if they are ok financially to do a funeral? Could we do a go fund me to at least cover that cost?

Outstanding idea!

[OLJWales]

State needs to reach out and find about the family.

[defiantdog]

He came back and finished his degree in psychology...... good guy in a tough situation. We should all be thankful for what we are blessed with and never take anything for granted.
