On Thursday morning, it was announced that former Broncos running back Ronnie Hillman passed away. He was 31.
Earlier this week, Hillman’s former teammates said he was moved into hospice care. Orlando Franklin tweeted, “Please pray for Ronnie Hillman … this ain’t fair, please god, please.“
Derek Wolfe, meanwhile, said that Hillman was battling liver cancer and then contracted pneumonia.
Hillman’s family released a statement on Instagram regarding this heartbreaking situation.
“Ronnie quietly and peacefully transitioned today in the company of his family and close friends,” the family said. “We as the family, appreciate the prayers and kind words that have already been expressed. We ask that you would give us time to process our feelings as we prepare to lay our precious RJ to rest.”
