Buffalo Bills fans worldwide are in mourning, following what’s been a truly heartbreaking week for the Mayerik family. Nick Mayerik announced on Thursday that his eight-year-old son, Eddie, was no longer suffering, having past away due to complications from congenital heart disease (CHD).
Eddie isn’t suffering anymore. He’s left the physical world. But his love and spirit will live on forever bc he was such a force. Such a light. I’m so broken. I love you all. Thank You for ALWAYS being there. #Eddiesinfantryforever
