MY CONDOLENCES TO UPSHAW FAMILY! I KNEW GENE UPSHAW WHEN HE PLAYED FOR THE RAIDERS. NOW HE PLAYS FOR THE BEST TEAM KNOWN TO MAN – THE LORDS TEAM!

May the family find peace and solice in the Lord because He is a COMFORTER. RIP Upshaw

My condolences go out to the Upshaw family but for the masses watching are you noticing all the famous deaths that are happening? People dont just die, GOD calls you home and just like many of you who know when a higher power calls you home it is either for a good or BAD reason, I am not stating which was his reason but try to understand what times we are in, whether you want to believe or not, notice how many of these celebrities are in key parts of our so called famous society.

My sincere condolences go out to the family of Mr. Gene Upshaw. He was trulu a trail blazer in the game of football. You are in my prayers

I was saddened to learn the unexpectant and shocking news of Gene Upshaw’s passing. I met him over 30 years ago (late 1970s) when he played for the Oakland Raiders. He was an active member of the downtown Oakland YMCA where I worked. Gene was always very nice to me and never expected to be treated like a big time, celebrity football player. During those days, he was just one of the guys who came to the gym to workout. I am very proud to say I had the opportunity to personally know him–long before any controversial or negative labels that he was unfortunately given later during his life. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family. Gene, rest in peace. I believe you are now in a much better place.

A great player of the game and a great man of Alpha…RIP Frat….

His family will be in my prayers….

To the players, NFL families and friends my condolences go out to the family of one of the greatest offensive lineman in the game. I am a die hard RAIDERS fan and grew up watching and learning about commitment to excellence, and he and the RAIDERS organization where about that. But as we all know we all have to past that way, and GOD is still in control. i lost my father early in the year but he is now among the truly great players of all time, and I know they are talking football for this season. May GOD grant the family PEACE & BLESSING

THE NATION MOURNING THE GREAT BLACK MEN THAT THE LORD HAS TAKEN TOO HEAVEN. MY CONDOLENCES GO OUT TO THE FAMILY OF THE GREATEST LINEBACKER OF ALL TIME.

YOU WILL BE MISSED, BY MANY.
