This week's Tigers' opponent and coach reached out in sympathy after the death of Clemson defensive tackle Bryan Bresee's 15-year-old sister from brain cancer.
. “Class guy. Class act. His whole football team. … You know what, it just makes my heart smile in this competitive world we’re in that there’s people out there like Sonny Cumbie and that La. Tech crowd. Class group.”Cumbie wore an “E11a Strong” T-shirt, before the game and handed Swinney a letter of his own for Bresee. The young girl’s battle has become an inspiration for the Tigers, who are 3-0 and ranked fifth nationally.
Bresee had announced the death of the little sister he called “my why” last week on Instagram, paying tribute to her spirit and strength. “My beautiful sister Ella you amazed me every single day with the fight that you put up and how joyful you were constantly through this battle. Never did I think I would be sitting here today saying bye to you. I want to thank you for bringing happiness to not only me but so many people.
She also was “nothing if not joyful. We will all greatly miss her smile and adventuresome spirit. But now, we are grateful that she knows what it’s like to be genuinely unbound without disease, pain, or treatment.” Ella “didn’t want a normal funeral, she didn’t want people to wear black, she didn’t want to be driven in a black hearse. She wanted her immediate family to dress in pink and orange and everyone else the brightest colors they have!”
