Kevin Faulk is dealing with a tragic loss.
Tanasha Faulk, a 30-year-old daughter of the former New England Patriots star, died on December 6, according to an online obituary and the Acadiana Advocate.
Tanasha's cause of death was not disclosed by either the advocate or the obituary; however, the former did state that she died "unexpectedly" and had been admitted to the Oschner Lafayette General Medical Center at the time. The outlet also stated that no foul play is suspected.
Tanasha, one of Kevin and wife Latisha Faulk's three daughters, was remembered for "her vibrant spirit, her deep devotion to those she loved, and the joy she brought to everyone," according to her obituary.”
“Family was the center of Tanasha’s world,” the obituary continued. “Especially her three daughters, who were the greatest blessings of her life. Being their mother brought her so much joy, and she was immensely proud watching them grow and learn.”
She enjoyed the holidays, Mardi Gras, family reunions, and cooking, giving her loved ones "a sense of home" with her home-cooked meals.
"Tanasha will be remembered for her kindness, unwavering love for her family, and the light she brought to everyone who knew her," her obituary stated. "Her memory will live on in the hearts of her beautiful girls and family."
Tanasha is survived by her three children, five-year partner Isaac Louis, sister Tionne Lewis, and brothers Tavion Faulk and Kevin Faulk III.
Her loss came barely four years after the death of her younger sister, Kevione Tronsha Faulk, who died at the age of 19 in 2021.
While no information was provided concerning Kevione's cause of death, Louisiana State University, where she worked alongside her father, a running backs coach, issued a statement lamenting her demise.
"We are heartbroken with the passing of Kevione Faulk, and our thoughts and prayers are with the Faulk family," the school announced at the time. "She was a part of the LSU family, and we mourn the loss of a daughter, a sister, a friend, a classmate, and a colleague."
"We ask that all Tigers keep the Faulks in their prayers," the institution said, "and respect their privacy at this difficult time."
