R.I.P Jovan Belcher & Kasandra Perkins

Jovan Belcher #59 a linebacker for the Kansas City Chiefs who had been with the team since 2009, killed his 22 year old girfriend Kasandra Perkins at their home and then killed himself at his workplace in an Arrowhead parking lot as his head coach Romeo Crennel, Gary Gibbs linebackers coach, and the general manager Scott Pioli witnessed the horrific suicide.Those who knew Jovan describe him as an inspirational young man who had accomplished so much in his short life. The reasons behind Jovans actions may never be know but what is known is that for someone who had such a bright future in front him, someone who had success, someone to share his life with, and a little girl to call him daddy, someone who had a good life eneded it in tragedy. For someone to go to such extremes had to have been battling some serious demons. Perhaps the one person to be most affected by this tragedy are not the ones that unfortunately witnessed Belcher's suicide, not his team- mates that spent so much of their time with Jovan, not his dedicated fans, maybe not even their family, but their 3 month old daughter Zoey Belcher. Zoey now has to grow up without not only her dad but also her mother. This little girl is going to always wonder "why?''.  She will always having missing pieces in her life she will never be able to ask her daddy to teach her how to ride a bike, she'll never run into her mothers arms after coming home from her first day at school, she'll never be able to fight with her dad because he dosen't like her boyfriend and she'll never be able to ask her mom to take her shopping for her wedding dress. Zoey will always be the one person who was most hurt and whos life was most drastically changed. Brady Quinn (quarterback for KC) and other players say they plan on providing finacial support for little Zoey, and just a day after Jovans tragic suicide KC played the Carolina Panthers with a bitter sweet win of 27-21. My deepest condolences to Belchers and Perkins family, friends, team-mates, fans, and daughter.
