@CharlesWoodson Tragically, Jon Ottney died Friday night in a car crash while driving home from coaching varsity football at Lakota. Jon went to school & coached football at Fremont Ross. He leaves behind his wife (my sister) and 3 kids under 6yrs old.

Jon Ottney was a hilarious assistant at Fremont Ross when I was at the @fremontnm. (His younger brother was quarterback.) Jon recently died in a car wreck. I kicked in for this, and if you’ve got a couple bucks to spare, I encourage you to do so too.
