RIP

 

[DaBruinz]

This is horrible..

RIP, Reche.

Caldwell was probably coming out of retirement to join up with TB like Gronk

 

[TheRainMaker]

Awful to hear, especially right now as looters are feared to start going into residential neighborhoods.

Seems like he was targeted and/or knew him.

There’s more to the story.

 

[Froob]

Sad, these sorts of things shouldn’t happen.

 

[Gator Mike]

Awful. I knew him a bit when I lived in Gainesville. That 2001 Gator team that featured Caldwell and Rex Grossman, and Jabar Gaffney, and Taylor Jacobs, and Earnest Graham is maybe the most fun UF team to watch I've ever seen. Not sure they would have beaten Miami for the title, but they probably should have at least been in the game.

He was a pretty good kid who always seemed to have a smile on his face, but he had an unfortunate knack for making poor life decisions.

Still, whatever missteps he made in his life didn't mean he deserved to die like this.

 

[ViperGTS]

Ridiculous. Such sad news. I’d like to know the full story for sure.

 

[Bourne Again Christian]

Cut down way too soon.
Hope the cowards get nothing but a broom stick I their ass in prison

Sad sad sad. I always loved what he gave the Patriots, the proverbial 110%, when you knew darn well that his ceiling just wasn't that high. He was one of those guys where you'd say, wow, look at the will to win written in his eyes, then realize that's a glandular condition, but then say, yeah, he really did seem to play above himself that one season he was our no. 1. Seriously, he gave everything he had and then some, and it would have been nice for him to just have a happy life going forward from there... it really is sad for him to go so young. Thank you for giving us your BEST, Mr. Caldwell, and RIP

May God bless those he left behind. Sad news.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

So sad and unfortunate. I think I remember reading about the troubles him and Gaffney were going through post football

 

[Raymond]

So sorry.

 

[oldrover]

So sad. May the good Lord rest him and keep him, and give comfort to those who mourn him.

RIP.

He gets a bad rap for the 2006 AFCCG too...If a couple of things out of his control go as they should have, he would've been mentioned as one of the leaders in the win...

RIP Reche. The world is such a sad place these days...
