Former Broncos receiver Thomas dies at age 33
12/9/21
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Former Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas, whose quiet demeanor belied a burning desire to achieve what he routinely called "everyday greatness,'' has died at age 33, according to police.
Roswell, Georgia, police said Thursday night that Thomas was found dead in his home. Preliminary reports, according to the police, indicated Thomas' death might have resulted from a medical issue.
The Broncos released a statement early Friday, mourning the loss of "an incredible player and a special person."
"We are devastated and completely heartbroken by the sudden, tragic passing of Demaryius Thomas," the Broncos said in a statement early Friday. "D.T. was beloved by our entire organization, his teammates and coaches, and our fans. Recently retiring as a Bronco, we were very much looking forward to celebrating Demaryius for years to come as one of the greatest players in franchise history."
The Broncos went on to add, "Demaryius' humility, warmth, kindness and infectious smile will always be remembered by those who knew him and loved him."
Thomas, who would've turned 34 on Christmas, had officially announced his retirement from the NFL this past June with a short video with a peace sign and his characteristic smile.
