Former Super Bowl champion Ronnie Hillman has died at the age of 31 following a battle with a rare form of cancer.
Hillman’s family shared the news of the former NFL running back’s death on his social media late Wednesday night.
"We as the family, appreciate the prayers and kind words that have already been expressed,” the family added. “We ask that you would give us time to process our feelings as we prepare to lay our precious RJ to rest." The running back’s family shared Wednesday that he had been placed in hospice care amid a battle with renal medullary carcinoma, a"rare but highly aggressive neoplasm form of cancer that primarily affects young African Americans with sickle cell trait." He was diagnosed in August.“We also understand that God's will is not always ours; therefore, we as a family subject ourselves to the will of our Almigty God,” the family said.
