Detroit Lions receiver Marvin Jones lost "a piece of my family’s heart" Friday when his infant son, Marlo, passed away suddenly.
Marlo was 6 months old.
"It is hard to believe that our little angel, our fighter from day one, our son “Marlito” has unfortunately passed away and is no longer here with us," Jones wrote on Instagram. "Marlo, the joy that you brought to us everyday, with that smile, and that energy was like heaven on earth. You will always be in our hearts. We will always remember you.
