Former South Carolina Gamecock offensive lineman DJ Park passed away at 29 years old
Joseph “DJ” Park was a very solid football player for the University of South Carolina, who is reportedly dead. The 29-year-old former offensive lineman has been in the hospital fighting a variety of health issues.
Park graduated from Dillon High in December 2012 and enrolled at South Carolina in January 2013, playing for the Gamecocks through 2017 under coaches Steve Spurrier and Will Muschamp.
Park’s sister posted this on her Facebook about the passing of DJ.
“To KNOW DJ/Joseph Park was to LOVE him. I could write a novel but I’ll just leave it at that for now. I’ll miss you forever but at least you can rest easy now.”
Park played football for Dillon High School and was part of the Wildcats’ 2012 state championship team. Park was a top rated offensive lineman in the State of South Carolina.
Please continue to pray for the Park family.
