Commanders legend London Fletcher honored by team after tragically losing his wife to cancer at just 50

Commanders coach Dan Quinn presented Washington legend London Fletcher with the game ball following Sunday's win over the Browns, which came just weeks after the former linebacker lost his wife to cancer.

Charne Page Fletcher tragically died - reportedly from breast cancer - late last month. She was just 50. They had been married for 18 years and had three children together.

'My soul hurts and we’re devastated,' the Super Bowl champion wrote in a heartbreaking tribute following her passing. 

On Sunday, Fletcher was in the radio booth as the Commanders dominated Cleveland 34-13 in Washington.

After the game, Quinn handed the 49-year-old a game ball as he did a radio interview. Fletcher hugged the head coach following the heartwarming gesture, per ESPN.

The former linebacker announced his wife's death on September 21 with a touching tribute on social media.

'My wife of 18 years and the mother of my 3 children lost her battle with cancer this past Tuesday,' Fletcher wrote. 

'My soul hurts and we’re devastated and (heartbroken) as a family, however we’re comforted by the fact that she’s no longer suffering. 

'Rest easy now “Izzy” I will love you forever and a day.' Fletcher also posted a series of photos alongside his wife and their children.

The former linebacker spent 16 seasons in the NFL, playing for the St Louis Rams, the Buffalo Bills and in Washington.

Fletcher was a four-time pro bowler and, in January 2000, he helped the Rams defeat the Titans to win Super Bowl XXXIV.
