As a person who suffers from seizures not from epilepsy, and a lifelong Broncos fan.....this one hit hard. It's been my biggest fear, and 4 years ago the same thing almost happened to me. I had a seizure so severe it gave me a stroke at 27. I lost my house, job, car, but not my life. I spent years on the streets after trying to recover. I wish you could have been as lucky as I was DT. Thank you for all the great times, and wonderful memories. I'm sorry to see you go, but we'll carry on your caring legacy in Denver always!

It came across my KZread watching months ago and I still cried over it. It's almost been 2 years. As much as people talk about how the players act like that they are elitist, they forget that they are all so human and they have such a camaraderie and brotherhood that supersedes the game.

As a Panthers fan who has hated Denver for years after the super bowl, this brought tears to my eyes. I was heartbroken to hear about DT passing away. Gone way too soon. As someone who works with people who have seizures, this really hits home. RIP DT :(

DT will live on in our hearts, in the organization, and in NFL history. He lived such a hard life, played a great game, got his mother out, then his grandmother. Such a great WR, was one of my all-time favorites. I'm so glad to have bought a jersey to commemorate his memory.
