dolphins former head coach died in the fire affected home together with family…
Quentin Moses, a former linebacker for the Miami Dolphins and Arizona Cardinals, died at the age of 33 in a house fire that also killed Andria Godard, 31, and her 10-year-old daughter, Jasmine.
Jason Taylor, who was voted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame earlier this month, was Moses’s old Miami teammate and shared his sympathies via Twitter. “My heart breaks for former teammate and friend Quentin Moses and his family,” Taylor wrote in a letter. Thoughts, prayers, and tears! So sad. “Life’s too short.”
Moses was drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the third round of the 2007 draft before spells at the Cardinals and then the Dolphins where he played for four seasons. Following his retirement he had been an assistant coach at Reinhardt University. “You will forever be remembered for your love for the game of football and your love for young adults,” read a statement on Reinhardt University Football’s Twitter account. “Rest in Peace Coach Moses. We love you.”
Moses also had a distinguished career as a player at the University of Georgia. He was named the Bulldogs’ defensive MVP in 2005 when they won the SEC. “Our thoughts and prayers are with Quentin’s family,” the university’s athletic director Greg McGarity said in a statement. “We are shocked and saddened by this tragic news. Quentin was an outstanding representative of not only the University of Georgia but also his hometown of Athens. On behalf UGA Athletics, we extend our most sincere condolences to his family.”
