The 17-year-old son of Green Bay Packers linebacker Brady Poppinga, who won a Super Bowl, passed away due to a severe asthma attack.
His Westlake High football coach, Mark Serve, was mentioned by the Los Angeles Times after the devastating news was confirmed by his sister in an emotional Instagram post.
The Ventura County Star said that he had been hospitalized due to a severe asthma episode that resulted in a collapsed lung.
