Our hearts go out to San Francisco 49ers cornerback Charvarius Ward, whose one-year-old daughter, Amani Joy, has tragically passed away.
The 49ers released a heartfelt statement expressing their condolences and support for Ward and his family.
"The 49ers family is devastated by the sudden passing of Charvarius Ward's beloved one-year-old daughter, Amani Joy," the statement reads. "Amani truly embodied pure happiness and brought joy to all those around her with her sweet demeanor and contagious laugh. We will continue to grieve with Charvarius and Monique, while sending them our love and support during this unimaginable time."
Ward is currently in his third season with the 49ers, who are on their bye week. He shared the following on his Instagram account.
"We are heartbroken that our beautiful baby girl, Amani Joy passed away on Monday morning," Ward wrote. "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."
