Former NFL player Chris Draft, who used to play for the Atlanta Falcons, the Chicago Bears, and the Washington Redskins, is mourning the lost of his wife just one month after they exchanged their vows. Despite Keasha Draft’s battle with cancer, the couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Atlanta on November 27th, which you can see a trailer of below. Funeral services will be held Saturday, December 31, in South Carolina. Our deepest thoughts and condolences go out to the family and friends of Chris and Keasha.
Chris Draft had a 12-year career in the NFL, after being picked in the sixth round from Stanford University in 1998. He established the Chris Draft Family Foundation, a non-profit organization that focuses on the importance of education, healthy lifestyles, character development, personal responsibility, self-discipline and physical fitness.

There are so many beautiful, and wonderful people that has gone before her in heaven to get her acclimated. My brother being one of them and my kids mom being another to name a couple. God has them all, and She seem to have a beautiful spirit. As all Angels do. Whatever her reason was, it has been carried out. So she has gone to where we all pray to be some day.

I had to stop and pray for the family. Keasha seemed like a beautiful young woman and I am saddened I didn’t have the opportunity to meet her. Speaking from experience my mother passed from cancer but she did not succumb to it. Neither did Keasha. All of us are here to full fill a mission and Keasha completed hers. It was to bring joy to the world around her. She is an angel who has returned to her home in heaven, to be with OUR father, Christ.

My heart and prayers go out to Chris and his family and friends. I am still in tears as I just finished watching the videos. I know that a special part of his heart is now gone but she is still there in spirit, which is stronger than anything if you know the Lord. God will definately guide him through this, because she is with him now and still in good hands.

Esjai says
My thoughts and prayers are with the Draft and Ruthelidge family. There seem to be so much love in the family and I felt happy and was tearful at the same time watching the trailers. I know that it is tough when we lose a loved one but just remember that God has a master plan, so just hang in there.
Kitamason says
Definitely tearjerker… but by far – it just goes to show you that life is very short, fragile and instead of wasting your time looking and praying for perfection, you could have the person that is right under your nose to make you perfectly happy. this was extremely humbling. She is out of pain now though and I pray for Chris, his family and her family. May she forever rest in peace…
Omolara says
That was so emosh…..
May her perfect soul rest in peace.
May Lord pour his love and healing upon her loved ones…
That made me cry, I pray they will find the cure for cancer soon.AMEN….
Terrence says
so sorry to hear that may God bless him and his family and comfort them in these weeks to come….
Ashley says
GOD BLESS the Draft family at this time. As I watch your wedding video and photos i am overwhelmed with emotions because i can feel the love you guys have for each other. I’m an oncology nurse and this really breaks my heart to view life from the other side. She was full of life and an inspiration. She has inspired me to continue my education and also focus on finding love ( agape love) making every moment count 🙂 Thank you for sharing your life. RIP Mrs. Draft.
Cathiebaah says
Love surpasses all, this is true love made from above. Am sure the soul of Keasha will rest in peace.
