Donnell Leomiti RIP

[GuySmiley]

Buff Nation lost a great Buff way too soon. Yesterday, ex-Buff Donnell Leomiti lost a lengthy and courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. He was the defensive coordinator for CSU-Pueblo. Donnell played safety at CU making many meaningful contributions, including a key fumble recovery in the Miracle in Michigan. He coached locally for Denver North and Boulder High and was a defensive technical intern for CU in 2004-5. Next, he coached 13 seasons at CSU-Pueblo winning DII awards for Assistant and Coordinator of the year. Donnell was a great guy, and I fondly remember playing basketball with him after he graduated.

It is hard to get me to cry these days but I shed a tear for Donnell, Lauren, and their babies. He is in a better place.
