We were all devastated by the passing of former Washington Quarterback Dwayne Haskins. On April 9, 2022 he was hit by a truck while he was walking on a South Florida highway getting gas for his car. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Two memorial services were held for Haskins in April where family and friends gathered to show their respect.
