zestycoyote Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 A couple people I follow on Twitter that are in the UA athletic department have reported that Chris Jacquemain has died. I checked his Facebook profile and the posts on his wall seem to confirm his death. Even though he left the Zips program in a bad way, nobody should die this young. R.I.P.

Kangaroo Craig Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Read the twitter posts Dave. Looks like a heroin overdose. Very sad. Prayers going out to the Jacquemain family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyzip84 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 There are few things as sad as the devastation substance abuse can bring to an individual and their family. Thoughts and prayers to the family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowdyZip Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Does this have deeper roots in the program? Two young men who became addicted to drugs while playing for the Zips and die way too young is not the additional bad press this program needs. RIP Chris, and prayers to the family.

Zipmeister Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 I guess now we know why he was kicked off the team. RIP. Are you saying he was stealing from his teammates to support a drug habit? RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zips4ever2008 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 I've meet his parents a couple times, especially when Chris was the starter. Nice people. What a shame that this had to happen to someone so young. My thoughts and prayers go out to Chris' family. RIP Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipsfan33 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 What a shame... He could have been so good... I remember all the hype when he was starting... then he got suspended for the BGSUcks game and that was about the end of that and the start of the Carlton project.

Thewatcher Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Unfortunately, a drug addiction by Chris continued into his friends. my only hopes are that the 2 remaining roommates seek help right away. Both already are on this path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GP1 Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 In all my years of watching Zips football, I don't remember this happening to any current or former Zips. It was no secret when he was in school that he had a drug problem. I wonder how many people within the Athletic Department knew he was using hard drugs? I don't mean just smoking some pot either, but hard drugs like horse. Did anyone ever reach out to help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it's obvious that he needed professional help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
