[Lord Malakite]

White, whose free-agent signing with the Packers in 1993 altered the NFL landscape, died of respiratory failure due to sleep apnea, according to White's widow, Sara. Sara White spoke this morning with Fox studio co-host James Brown.

"Today our beloved husband, father and friend passed away," Sara White said in a statement through a family pastor. "His family appreciates your thoughts and prayers as we mourn the loss of Reggie White. We want to thank you in advance for honoring our privacy."

I was so shocked when I heard about this on ESPN Radio on my way to church this morning. I couldn't believe it, and at age 43. I said a prayer for him and his family. :(
