So tragic, RIP Zeke.

Here's an mlive article about him and the impact he made in his home town of Chicago, if anyone's interested in learning a little more about Zeke: http://www.mlive.com/drive/2018/03/zeke_upshaws_impact_in_chicago.html

Sad to hear that he passed away so young. Having a cardiac arrest at that age, I'd wager there was a genetic defect with his cardiovascular system.

Tragic. I saw the footage too of him collapsing. Literally just a random freak event.

RIP

It is terrible to see someone trying to achieve their dream pass away like this. Zeke Upshaw always gave The Grand Rapids Drive a lift off of the bench and is going to be missed. R.I.P. Zeke Upshaw.
