Shocking: 34 year old Ed Aschoff passes away

Young former gator reporter.

@ZachAbolverdi: Devastated to hear my friend @AschoffESPN has passed away after a battle with pneumonia. Ed was a big reason I decided to pursue journalism. He took me under his wing at the Sun and I’m forever grateful. Incredible reporter and an even better person. You will be missed!

@NickdelaTorreGC: One of the nicest and most genuine people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know. My heart breaks for his fiancé and his family.

Way too young. RIP

Holy sh*t, that’s just awful.

 

[Frozen Gator]

He was a talent and waay to young, RIP.

RIP.

Too young.

 

[Thick&ThinG8r]

Wish this was a hoax. He was actually a realist when it came to recruiting compared to the " they are getting everybody" generation of young journalists.
Prayers for his family.

Wow, that's a shocker. He was the last decent 'writer' at the Sun. It was good to see him get the ESPN gig.

Wow, that's a shocker. He was the last decent 'writer' at the Sun. It was good to see him get the ESPN gig.

Literally, what I was going to say, that he was the best thing to come out of the Sun since Bianchi. Yes, I like Bianchi even for all his faults.

RIP Mr. Achoff, always a great read.
