A truly sad day for all fans of FC Dallas and soccer in general as former lifetime player for Dallas Burn/FC Dallas and current Play-by-play announcer for FC Dallas games, Bobby Rhine, has passed away. Bobby died on Monday evening at the age of 35 of an apparent heart attack while on vacation with his family. Thoughts and prayers to his friends, family, and fans.

I saw this a little bit earlier and was absolutely shocked, mostly because he was only 35 years old. He always seemed like a class act as a player, and when he worked in the FCD front office. FCD has an off week, so he was on vacation with his family in Florida. This is just really sad.

I had the pleasure of meeting Bobby a few times and he was a world class guy. So down to earth, so humble, probably never had an ill thing to say about anyone. So tragic that he leaves behind his two kids at such a young age. Some of my friends were really close to his family and they're really shook up right now. Just tragic.

There's an impromptu memorial at Pizza Hut Park tonight at 7pm for anyone interested. It'll be next to his picture on the southwest corner of the stadium.

R.I.P. Bobby: a good soccer player and a wonderful man.

Wow. RIP.
