Damn. Always liked Hefty Lefty.

I read an article on him the other day it sounded like the end was near. R.I.P. big guy, I enjoyed watching you play the game.

I watched The Jared Lorenzen Project when it first came out. Always rooted for the guy. Obviously somewhere he got sidetracked again, which you hate to see. He was doing it for his family so that this would not be the end result.

Only 38. Too bad he couldn't get his weight under control early on.

Hate to hear that man. It’s sad to see people eat themselves to the point of death. RIP

Hate to hear that. Those Kentucky teams in the early 2000s weren’t great but he and Derek Abney (who Jackie continued to allow us to kick the ball to even though he always took it to the house on us) made them entertaining to watch.

38 is too young for anyone to pass, especially due to the circumstances and the fact he had kids.

that guy was really fun to watch while at kentucky. RIP

Seemed like a really good guy....and definately a competitor!

RIP!!!

Pretty sure he didn't eat himself to death like in the movie Se7en. I believe it was a blood infection.

Yeah, even his EX wife said he was a great guy. That’s saying a lot.
