Random Connections: Sean Taylor’s Girlfriend Was Andy Garcia’s Niece
Thursday, November 29th, 2007
It’s a small world.
Sean Taylor, the Washington Redskins player who tragically died this week, was the longtime boyfriend of Andy Garcia’s niece, Jackie Garcia. She was with her football star boyfriend Monday night when they heard loud noises. She reportedly hid in the bedroom with their 18-month-old daughter, also named Jackie, while Taylor went to investigate.
Andy Garcia released a statement:
“His heroic action on that tragic night saved their life and is a testament to his humanity and courage. His spirit will live forever, in our hearts and through the legacy of his achievements and the family he leaves behind/ Sean was known to many as an extraordinary athlete and unquestionable teammate. To those of us who had the good fortune to count him as a member of our extended family, we will always remember him as a caring and loving individual.”
R.I.P., Sean.
