University of Central Florida football coach Shawn Clark passed away unexpectedly at the age of 50, the team announced.
Clark, the UCF Knights’ offensive line coach, died suddenly on Sunday evening after experiencing a medical emergency.
The coach was rushed to hospital five days earlier on Tuesday but is said to have been in stable condition before passing away suddenly on Sunday night.
His wife, Jonelle, a Hall of Fame softball player at Eastern Kentucky, was by his side at the time of his death. Clark is also survived by their two children, Giana and Braxton.
‘Shawn was so much more than a coach. He was a remarkable man, husband, and father who cared deeply about his players and staff,’ said UCF head coach Scott Frost.
‘The reaction of our players and coaches to the news this morning is a testament to Shawn’s character and the impact he had on every life that he touched. He was loved. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Jonelle, and children, Giana and Braxton. We are here to support them and will continue to keep them in our hearts and prayers.’
