Former Auburn quarterback Jeff Klein died Wednesday at 42 years old.
He had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer known as metastatic squamous cell carcinoma.
Klein's wife, Adrienne, posted a statement announcing his death on CaringBridge.org:
“His passing was peaceful and immediately followed the ceasing of life support. After two long and painful days, I finally get to see our precious boys. Please continue to pray the Lord would grant me the words and wisdom on how to talk to my babies about how our lives have been completely changed.
