Former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was the latest after issuing a statement on the death of Dwayne Haskins, saying his smile and zeal for life will be missed:
“I only had the privilege to know D-Hask for a short time, but in that time I got to meet a young man that didn’t seem to ever have a bad day,” Roethlisberger wrote. “He came to work everyday with a smile on his face and energy and love in his heart. I really enjoyed his passion and love for the game and wanting to learn and be the best. His smile and zeal for life will be missed!”
Roethlisberger also sent a message to Haskins’ wife, Kalabrya Haskins:
“We don’t understand why God does what he does but we have trust and believe in his plan,” Roethlisberger wrote. “You are an amazing woman of faith and we trust you will get through this.”
