“The thoughts and prayers of the Romo family go out to MB III and his entire family,” Romo wrote via his Twitter account.
“Cowboy fans will never forget his aggressive running style and shear energy he brought every time he was on the field…
“But the Marion I will never forget was a young man that had a megawatt smile that could turn your day around in an instant. His huge heart, and presence were felt the moment he walked through the door. He could bring the whole locker room together in an instant. I loved being around Marion. His demeanor and spirit affected and touched more people than he ever realized. I was definitely one of those people.”
