Late Lyle Alzado’s Wife Announces Devastating News About Their Son’s Health
In a heartbreaking update, Cheryl Alzado, the widow of the late NFL legend Lyle Alzado, has announced devastating news about the health of their son, Justin Alzado. The 33-year-old son of the late football star is reportedly facing a serious and life-threatening medical condition, which has left the Alzado family in a state of shock and grief.
In an emotional statement shared with the public, Cheryl revealed that Justin had been diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer. “It is with a heavy heart that I share the news that our son, Justin, has been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of cancer,” Cheryl wrote. “This is an incredibly difficult time for our family, and we are focusing all our energy on supporting Justin and helping him through the fight of his life.”
Cheryl, who has remained a private figure since the passing of her husband, the former NFL player Lyle Alzado, in 1992, expressed her shock and sorrow at the news. “As a mother, it’s heartbreaking to watch your child face such an unimaginable challenge,” she continued. “But Justin is strong, and he has the love and support of our family, his friends, and so many who are rooting for him.”
Lyle Alzado, known for his time with the Denver Broncos and Oakland Raiders, passed away at the age of 43 after a battle with brain cancer, which he attributed to his use of performance-enhancing drugs during his football career. Now, his family faces another devastating health crisis, as they rally around Justin.
The Alzado family has requested privacy as they navigate this incredibly difficult time. Fans, friends, and former teammates of Lyle Alzado have expressed their sympathy and support for Justin, keeping him in their thoughts and prayers. The family has asked for continued respect as they focus on his treatment and recovery.
