Basically, Hillman is in hospice care for a severe kidney cancer that affects black males who have sickle cell traits. Prognosis is poor, and likely means that there's not much time left to live.

I remember this kid facing Mizzou when he was at San Diego State. He killed us running the football, and we were a pretty good team. I told my dad, "He's (Hillman's) going to be an NFL player," and I was right.

I feel for his family and his teammates, and although the prognosis doesn't look good, I hope he beats it.

Thank you for posting. Very sad news.
I have been lucky to see both Ronnie Hillman and Greg Gaines play in HIgh School... at
my Alma Mater, La Habra HIgh in North Orange County, CA.
Ronnie would come back home for some of the La Habra games on Friday nights and was always very friendly to those who approached him.

That's sad. I was a big fan of his coming out of San Diego State. Can't believe he's in hospice. Dying so young.

Life is crazy that way. That's why we gotta enjoy it while we are here.

I have severe kidney disease, but thank God it's not due to cancer. I pray the best for him.

Ronnie Hillman just passed away. Thirty-one years old. That's my age. I gotta say, this one hurts.

RIP. Very sad news.

Doesn’t seem fair and definitely makes a person reflect on how not-bad their own problems really are.
