Kyed is a well-known NFL writer. Little Hallie Kyed tragically died in January 2021 after a nine-month fight with leukaemia.

Hallie and her family did not have an easy trip. When Hallie was given a leukaemia diagnosis in April 2023, their entire life fell apart. Hallie battled hard and shown amazing strength despite her early age. But following a bone marrow transplant, her condition deteriorated, and she experienced a recurrence.

Holding hands with her parents, Doug and Jen, Hallie went away quietly in her sleep on Sunday morning. They are utterly distraught and lost after losing their cherished daughter. Doug said, “Our lives will never be the same,” expressing the significant effect Hallie had on them.

Doug had previously reported on their resolve to maintain their optimistic outlook despite the challenging road. They thought Hallie could pass the hardest test since she had conquered every challenge posed by acute myeloid leukaemia.
