Rest now, Quaashi A. Chandler.

Friday night, a young man was taken from each of us on the sidelines in Bolingbrook.

Quaashi Chandler, running back/defensive back for Curie, collapsed with 41 seconds left in the game and was given immediate emergency attention before being taken to Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital. And as his teammates and opponents for the evening shook hands after the game, Chandler died at the hospital.

What a horrible thing to witness. A young man with his entire life to live, playing a game that he presumably loved, with his best friends and he is taken away for all to witness.

My heart and prayers are with this young mans family and friends.
