Craig Roh has passed away

Get your colonoscopy or at least a Cologuard (that's just sending a sample in the mail).

Dude. This is terrible. 

OMG. He was very active on social media with D-line coaching tips/techniques. Too damn young. The amount of colon/colorectal cancer cases in the under-50 crowd is insane. I personally know four people who have had colon cancer, all were diagnosed in their 30s. Three of them are no longer with us. May he rest in peace and his family be comforted. 

As someone who had stomach issues 6-7 years ago and had them looked at only to find nothing, and now having to go back to have them looked again because my pain level and frequency has shot up this is definitely not something I need to hear. Have a colonscopy and upper endoscopy scheduled for the 20th to hopefully rule out anything serious. I am only 35, but Roh was younger than me and others have said this type of cancer has just shot way up in younger people.

Youza, that sucks

wtf wtf wtf he played when i was in school - i remember him walking through the crowd during a pep rally on the diag a night or two before a game.

rip.

Colon cancer in young men is becoming a terrifying epidemic. My boss’s husband was just diagnosed, and another coworker’s husband just passed away last month. 

I was just thinking about him and all of the talented kids caught up in that mess of the early 2010s

here is to hoping Greg Robinson isnt greeting him with that damned stuffed beaver in the afterlife

RiP. Far too young

Jesus that’s awful.  One of my favorite players (not that it matters).  Blessings to all those who loved him 

Oh wow that's terrible. RIP Craig!

This news really, really sucks. Had no idea Craig was battling cancer.  My 43 year old wife will celebrate 20 years of being (colon) cancer free on Friday. She did not ignore symptoms and it saved her life.  Colon cancer is not just a disease of the elderly 
 

So sad to hear, way too young. Get your colonoscopies people! And do it sooner than you think you need to especially if you have any sort of family history. I just got my first one at 37 last week - it is honestly a piece of cake and there's no reason to delay.

Fuck! Yesterday, visited a friend in the hospital, recovering from the surgery for colon cancer.  It is a horrible way to go.  RIP Craig.

Holy crud is this sad. 

Go Blue, Craig.
Go Blue.  

RIP Craig. You was a real one.

Oh snap. :(

Gone way, way too soon. How sad for his family. RIP. 

Eternal rest grant unto him…

Oh my God, that's terrible! I had no idea he was ill.

Prayers and condolences for his family.

I'm only 34 years old, but after seeing a former high school friend of mine just get diagnosed with colon cancer (thankfully not stage 4), and now hearing about Roh, that's all the convincing I need. 

Time to go get a colonoscopy. 

Oh, shit! I know he had a long career in the CFL. Didn't know he was battling this. God bless and keep him.

How horrific. I had no idea he was sick. And to leave such a young son behind. Beyond tragic.

Horrible to hear, Craig Roh was a good dude and this is way too young.

So incredibly sad.

please read this article and consider dietary changes (restrict red meat and fast food) even if you have "good genes":

A colonoscopy is really nothing as others have pointed out and yes on the incredible sleep that night.

RIP Craig, you were always an easy guy to root for.

I have my first colonoscopy scheduled for next month, I have no idea what any symptoms or concerning things would be so I have no expectations other than a mildly unpleasant medical experience.  Definitely more motivated now to just get it done.

Damn. Rest in peace, Craig.

Please, everyone, get your colonoscopy done.

Oh man this sucks. He was one of the few Michigan athletes I’d met. He reached out via LinkedIn many years ago when he was getting into tech and we connected and talked a couple of times.  Smart guy. RIP.

Terrible news. Rest in peace Mr Roh.

I was diagnosed with Stage 3 at 38, no family history.  Anyone commenting around the prep before a colonoscopy being bad needs to stop, it’s an 12 hr inconvenience and the procedure itself is painless.  Chemo, Radiation and Surgeries on the other hand weren’t easy.  While I am cancer free as of today, the toll from radiation has completely changed my stomach and day to day living.

long story short, get the colonoscopy as soon as you can and don’t worry about the prep at all.

This is awful. How sad. 

Wow that's so sad and shocking and sad! Condolences to the family 

Such incredibly sad news. RIP Craig. 

I had a colonoscopy when I was 47 and it was clean as a whistle so I've been doing Cologuard since then, which is a minimal nuisance. Almost 12 years later, it's time to get another colonoscopy. Some insurance companies don't like to pay for another colonoscopy once you've moved to Cologuard unless there are symptoms, but I will insist this year, and if they won't pay for it, I'll pay for it myself (most hospitals will negotiate down the price but they don't want you to know that). Do whatever you need to do to stay on top of these things. 

Yesterday I was just re-watching the bussin with the boys preseason interview from 2022 i think with Denard and Chris Bryant where Taylor was telling the story about how when Craig was roomed with him that Craig would pray for Taylor's salvation. I think I'm cursed. Every time I remember someone they end up dying not long after.

Dang it!!!  Lord have mercy!!!  Praying for him and his family!  I remember when he actually committed.  RIH MR ROH

Awful. One of my favorite players during the RR era. 

Just awful.  Condolences to his family.  

RIP, thoughts are with his wife and infant. Far too young.
