Longtime Oregon wrestling coach Ron Finley died Tuesday morning following a years-long battle with cancer.
He was 75.
"I've been around and have seen this thing before. It wasn't a surprise to those that were close to him," Oregon State wrestling associate head coach Kevin Roberts said. "We knew he was battling. If anything, it was a testament to his will for how long he stuck with it."
Finley is survived by his wife, Linda, daughter, Kelly and son, Mike.
The fight Finley showed during his battle with cancer doesn't surprise those who knew Finley during his remarkable life.
