10 years ago today, we lost Kenny McKinley

[GarnetSkiesForever]

One of the greatest Gamecocks, gone to soon. Have him and his family in your thoughts today.

I still have my Gamecock cap with his signature on it. That young man crosses my mind every football season.

Gosh, I can't believe it has been that long. May Kenny RIP. God be with his family and friends on this anniversary of his death.

Was absolutely shocked to hear about it when it happened. I can’t believe it’s been 10 years either. Wow...spoke to his parents a few times on road games. Such nice folks.

One of the greats. RIP #11

His roommate, O J Murdock, also committed suicide later in his career. So sad.

I will never forget that bowl game v. UH late '06. It was Sidney Rice's last game for us. Everything was about Rice, but I knew we had a double edged sword, and sure enough Kenny made UH pay for focusing on Rice.
Such a nice young man and a nice family. Still sad....

I lost my brother to suicide September 13th 10 years ago. I remember hearing this news on my way to work and had to pull over because I just lost it. It’s something you can never make sense of. Always unanswered questions. RIP no. 11 and my dear brother!!!!

It makes me sad to think about it.

Too soon for us, but God redeems his children, and I have no doubt Kenny and Jesus are hangin out.

Lost mine in 1978 when I was 10. Still not over it. Hang in there man.

I am sorry about your loss. Some things we never get over, we just learn to live with it.

Remember that throw he made to Syvelle Newton against Kentucky?

I did not know that!
