Ed Aschoff passes away

[GatorGray]

Not sure if you guys know him, but he passed away today from pneumonia. He was with ESPN reporting mostly on UF; was with the G'ville Sun before that.
Young guy that was very talented. So sad.

[PacoGator19]

Wow. Very sad. How old was he?

 

[GatorGray]

Wow. Very sad. How old was he?

30s. Got his degree in 2008.

RIP

Crazy stuff. Never heard of anyone dying of that at his age without something else going on but it appears that was it.

 

[Nicktheslick]

I enjoyed his columns. RIP

 

[GatorGray]

He was 34...today.

Crazy. I believe I used to read his recruiting coverage at the Gainesville Sun. It was cool to see him make it to ESPN, where it seemed like he was still doing good work. RIP. Awful.

Sounds like he said he had a virus for a few weeks and then caught it.

R.I.P

Sad to hear this. He was engaged, seemed like a jovial well liked guy.

 

[bradleygator]

Read that he got sick covering OSU v. Michi. Just awful.

He died on his birthday. Horrible.

What a sad story. I'm so sorry for his fiancée and his parents. God Bless them and comfort them.

Thats crazy. Pneumonia in his early 30s.... Just awful. Makes you wonder how that happened? Doesnt seem right that someone in their 30s dies from pneumonia

 

[Countygator1]

Graduated from UF in 08 I believe.

 

[EvilWayz]

Wow. Very sad. How old was he?

34.

 

[GatorNation79]

That's crazy....I didn't notice the name at first but yeah...he reported on UF for years. Terrible.

 

[GatorNation79]

He died on his birthday. Horrible.

Even worse.

 

[EvilWayz]

Even worse.

He left behind a fiance. Worst Christmas present ever.
