Former Kentucky Wildcats quarterback Jared Lorenzen has died at the age of 38.
Jeremy Schapp of ESPN announced his mother confirmed Lorenzen's passing Wednesday.
Born in Covington, Lorenzen is one of the most recognizable Kentucky Wildcats football players of all time. Known as the "Hefty Lefty," his size made him a fan favorite as he started all four years while with the team.
After spending some time in the NFL, Lorenzen's weight would become the source of many health problems. He weighed in at nearly 600 pounds before starting a documentary series profiling his weight loss journey.
Kentucky Sports Radio's Matt Jones tweeted a statement from the family, confirming Lorenzen's death. The family thanked the public for their support and asked for privacy.

Hate that.  38 is way too soon for anyone.  The reality is if you reach 600 pounds, you ain't long for this world.  Regardless of losing weight or not, the damage done to your heart etc. is going to catch up to you.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

several guys I went to high school with have died - of basically not taking care of themselves. Diabetes, strokes and heart attacks. All died in that same 35-40 range. Very sad.

38. Dang. You gotta be really hitting it hard to wear your body out that early.
He was always a favorite of mine to watch. Athletic fat boy who just competed. But at some point, you got to have a limit. Apparently he did not.

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.
