Devon Wylie, a fleet receiver who played for the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tennessee Titans , has died at age 35, his family announced.

Words cannot describe the heartache we all feel as a result of Devons passing, the family said in a statement sent to HuffPost Wednesday by Wylies sister, Dene Ogles. Devon was a devoted son, grandson, brother, uncle, teammate and friend. He touched so many lives as a result of his love for the Lord and his special talents on and off the field.

The family is awaiting the result of an autopsy report, and is asking for privacy surrounding the matter, Ogles said.
