The Michigan State football family is in mourning after the untimely passing of former linebacker Adam Decker. His loss has left teammates and fans grappling with a profound sense of grief and nostalgia.

Michigan State football lost a beloved member of it's community this week. Over the weekend, former MSU linebacker Adam Decker tragically passed away, a sad fact that was confirmed on Tuesday by former MSU strength and conditioning coach Ken Mannie on social media.

The words that Mannie used to describe the young man prove as to what type of person Decker was -- "Harworking," "unselfish," and '"tough yet loving'" -- accurately reflect how others perceived him on and off the football field.
