FORMER EAGLES fullback Kevin Turner lost his six-year battle with ALS Thursday. He passed away at his home in Vestavia Hills, Ala. with his family by his side. He was just 46.
"I just wanted to tell everyone Myra and I lost a great son today," Kevin's father Raymond posted on Facebook. "He will be missed so much. Thank everyone so very much over this journey we have had for all your support, prayers. He was ready to go to Heaven. Excited, he said. Love y'all and thanks God bless."
The last time I saw Kevin, who spent five of his eight NFL seasons with the Eagles (1995-99), was three years ago outside the Philadelphia federal courthouse.
