This is about as heavy duty as it gets therefore get your tissues ready. Malik Sparkman, a senior-to-be linebacker for Coffee High (Georgia), passed away last week after a year-long battle with kidney cancer and his teammates carried out one last wish for the 18-year-old.

Prior to his burial, Sparkman was carried across the football field one last time by his teammates in a very emotional and heartbreaking ceremony.
