During what was supposed to be a day of celebration for the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl LVIII victory, local radio DJ Lisa Lopez-Galvan was killed when a shooting broke out at the Chiefs’ celebratory parade last week. And Chiefs superstar kicker Harrison Butker made a heartwarming gesture for her funeral.
Lopez-Galvan was wearing a white Harrison Butker jersey at the time of her death, and her family wanted to lay her to rest in a similar jersey but was having trouble finding one. So Butker was happy to provide one himself.
“My wife Isabelle and I are heartbroken by the murder of Lisa due to degenerate violence,” Butker said in a statement according to KSHB. “Murder is a sin that cries out to God for vengeance and I pray the men involved in this tragedy will be brought to justice. Hearing that she was a fan of my outspokenness for our shared Catholic Faith makes this even more personal. I am honored to provide a jersey to the family for her to wear. While the family is mourning their loss and grappling with their numerous injuries, I will continue to pray for their healing and the repose of Lisa’s soul.”
It was an undeniable tragedy and a senseless act of violence, but this is a heartfelt gesture from Butker.
