Today, his wife Siliana issued a heartfelt statement on her husband’s passing. The statement read:

Shad Gaspard: A real life hero

The former Cryme Tyme member has left us with a lot of entertaining moments and matches to relive. However, he will always be hailed for his selfless act of requesting the rescue team to save his son first, after the two, along with others, were caught in a rip current while swimming at Venice Beach earlier this week. Rest in peace, champ!

CollarxElbow recently added a new Shad Gaspard t-shirt to their inventory with 100% of the proceeds going to Shad’s family.

We at Sportskeeda extend our thoughts and condolences to the family and friends of the late Shad Gaspard.
