Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. took to social media to announce his youngest child, Marlo, died on Friday. Marlo was six months old.
Jones wrote a tribute to his son "Marlito" in an Instagram post on Saturday.
"Yesterday the Lord called home a piece of my family’s heart, Marlo," Jones wrote. "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."
The Lions also showed support for Jones and his wife, Jazmyn, in a statement.
