"Our prayers go to the family and kids," Jim Kelly's brother, Dan, told The Associated Press.

Born in 1997, Hunter Kelly was given no more than three years to live after being diagnosed with Krabbe Disease, an inherited degenerative disorder of the central and peripheral nervous systems. The disease hinders development of the myelin sheath, a fatty covering that protects the brain's nerve fibers

Sad but expected, Jim's courage and resilience showed The Public what many Parents do Year in Year out. We all gripe on here about bad beats etc, but the saying "But for the Grace of God" comes to mind.
