Today’s a sad day for the world of college football since they are bearing witness to yet another death of a young player. The names of Andre Seldon Jr., Bryce Stanfield, and Denali Smith, are just some of the many others who are gone too soon from the world due to their health issues. That is what has occurred within the Plowman family since they are mourning the loss of their beloved son today. Jack Plowman was a shining light to all those around him, but unfortunately, the young child met with his untimely end due to cancer.
Gordo High School took to X on 11th September and shared a beautiful image of Jack posing on the gridiron with the most adorable smile ever. Hopefully, his memory will always resonate with the same sort of happiness as this picture of his does. The caption from the school read, “We want to express our sadness over the loss of one of our own. Jack Plowman. He fought to the end. We do not know why he was chosen. Maybe one day we will have that answer.”
