Sad news: Meechie Walker has passed away

Rest in peace. Sad news. My best to his family

man that sucks. i saw an update a few days ago that he wasn't doing well. so sad to hear. tough to hear / see a story like that.. where you know nothing, start to feel connected to him and his situation, in a small way, and then, what feels inevitable, happens.

RIP - hope he enjoyed his touchdown run! And, hope the players realize what small gestures can do to brighten difficult times in others' lives

:-( Rest in Peace Meechie.  

Sad news, indeed! The kindness that the program showed him seemed to genuinely warm his heart... and theirs!

I hope they play these next 2 games with a Meechie helmet sticker.

Heartbroken.  

I'm literally tearing up right now. 

Fuck cancer.  

RIP, Meechie

That's a bummer.  Hate seeing young people pass away.  I hope he was able to see Michigan beat OSU or at least hear about it.  

Fuck Cancer.

RIP.  He loved UM - glad he was able to enjoy the relationships and success of the team over the past 2 years.

So horrible - at least his son had a chance to know his father.  God be with them and give them comfort.

I hate to hear that.  I had a tear in my eye when they showed the story of Dametrius on Gameday.  You could see he was not doing well at that time.  I hope his family finds comfort.  Its sad to think about having a child and not getting the chance to watch him/her grow up.  We just forget how blessed we are to be here.

I'm glad he's not in pain anymore.

Fuuuuuuuck you, Cancer.

Thank you Meechie for being a part of the Michigan family, for showing just how special yet fragile life is by never giving up, and inspiring all of us to strive to experience a daily moment of joy!  RIP!

RIP very sad to hear. He seemed like a great guy

Rest in Power Meechie. Thoughts to his family during this time

Rest In Peace.

Devastating.  So glad UM Football could fill some of his final days with joy.

May the comfort of divine love bless his family.

Sometimes I really do not like this world. He was a teenager, with his whole life in front of him. Not fucking fair. 

Nothing else to say: he was a young kid with his whole life in front of him and it was tragically cut far too short.

RIP, Meechie. You are, and always will be, part of Michigan.

Fuck!  Rest in Peace young man.  

RIP good man. 

damn that's sad. fuck cancer

I never knew the kid, but I wished I did He seemed to have such a great spirit and fought courageously.

Condolences and Best Wishes to his friends and family.

RIP Big Meech. life can be so unfair, but he made the most of it.  Thoughts and prayers with his family.

RIP.  I'm praying for your family.

RIP Mr. Walker.

I remember crying when they shared his story. I'm crying just thinking about it. Rest in piece young man.

I wished he had lived long enough to see Michigan win the National Championship. Rest in peace.

RIP Meechie. Prayers to your family. May your memory be for a blessing.

Heartbroken. Absolutely gutted.

Such an inspiration. When things got hard, knowing his story...it always gave me perspective. I'm forever indebted. Meechie's story, his life, has made a profound impact on me.

Forever Blue.

What hit me the hardest, while taking in his experience at Michigan he said" It's almost like I deserve this" RIP Meechie behind being a great man and father, you'll be remember as a Michigan man. 

He saw his beloved Wolverines win their second straight Big Ten title. Too bad he won't be around for the national championship.

As someone who has known Meechie for the past few years I want to say thanks to the UOfM community for their class and love.  He was an amazing young man with  a smile that I will never forget.  As someone who works with young men and  women daily, we often times take them for  granted.  Meechie was a great young man and one hell of a football player.  I know first hand his love for the wolverines and I truly hope we can bring one home for Meechie this year.  I know he will be watching from above.  Big Reds are tough as hell and will move forward without big meech.  He will not be forgotten anytime soon.  Big Red Nation appreciates the support.  
 

Hopefully his son laces up the cleats in his dads honor for the Maize and Blue someday.  
 

God Bless 

Very sad news for all Michigan fans, but most importantly Meechie's family & friends. Peace & prayers to them in this difficult time & thank you for bringing Meechie into our lives!

This is truly sad news.  What a cheerful attitude he seemed to have in such a difficult trial.  I'm sure the whole team is grieving the news.  Prayers for them all, especially his family.

RIP. Fuck cancer.

Cancer sucks.  Win for Meechie

RIP Meechie 🙏

What a courageous young man 🤗

Prayers for his family and friends.

RIP. I’m having an old fashioned in your honor

This is so incredibly sad. May he rest in peace and may his family find solace. 

I shed tears watching the tribute during the Big Noon show.  It's beyond sad that his little baby will grow up never really knowing his father.

Rest in peace...

This is not the update I had hoped to read. Rest in Peace, Meechie. You touched a lot of hearts with your fight.
If Michigan fights with the strength and courage of Meechie, a national championship is within our reach.

Wolverine Nation lost a real one. RIP Meechie!

Fuck cancer! He's way too young to go. RIP, Meechie.

Fuck you, cancer.

I hate you so much.

RIP … infectious smile while dealing with unbearable pain … the world can be cruel 

I cried then. And I'm crying now. Heartbroken.

Such an awesome and also sad story.  Great that Michigan football could give him such joy to the end and that he was able to spread his light to the team as well.  I'm sure Meechie is smiling down on the Maize and Blue!
