Marlins ace Jose Fernandez killed in Miami boating accident

http://www.nbcmiami.com/news/sports/Miami-Marlins-Pitcher-Jose-Fernandez-Killed-in-Boating-Accident-394724801.html

He defected from Cuba when he was 16, even saving his mother's life during an accident in their late night crossing from Cuba. He worked hard, overcoming Tommy John surgery and rehab nad was still at his peak when this happened.

I was just at Marlins Park weeks ago and got to see him play.

I don't have other words right now.
