A longtime ESPN employee has reportedly passed away ahead of the holidays. Zach Jones, a manager who worked in the Stats & Information department at The Worldwide Leader in Sports, is dead at 41, having journeyed on this past Sunday.
Jones had been with ESPN for nearly 15 years but has lost a battle to cancer, which prevented him from seeing out the year.
SportsCenter host Kevin Neghandi shared the news on social media on Monday in a heartwarming post in which he also slammed the deadly disease.
“May you rest in peace Zach. A devoted dad who loved golf, the Chargers and his family. He was a fantastic researcher and had the perfect demeanor for TV. He will be missed by so many. Sending all of our love to his wife, son and their family. F*ck cancer,” he wrote.
