It’s never easy to hear about the loss of someone so young, especially someone with so much promise. But this is something Jonathan Owens, Simone Biles’ husband, resonates with deeply. Usually, Owens is known for sharing joyful moments, celebrating the highs of life alongside his wife, Simone, in the limelight. But this time, his post was filled with a sorrow so deep, it spoke volumes without saying much at all. “RIP,” Owens wrote on Instagram, paying tribute to the 24-year-old former LSU wide receiver whose life was tragically cut short.
Jonathan Owens recently reshared a post from Football Forever, featuring a picture of Kyren Lacy, the 24-year-old LSU star who tragically passed away. Lacy’s death, discovered on April 13, 2025, in Houston, Texas, is being looked into as a suspected s**cide. It’s hard to wrap your head around—it feels like Lacy had so much left to give.
He was coming off an incredible season at LSU, caught 58 passes for 866 yards, and led the team with nine touchdowns—his best season yet. He was on the verge of entering the NFL and had participated in LSU’s pro day in March, where he was ranked as one of the top receiver prospects. To lose someone so young, with so much ahead of him, is truly heartbreaking.
Owens, clearly shaken, shared a powerful message on X with, “Always check on your people, man. You never know what somebody’s going through.” It hits differently when you realize that, despite how put-together someone might seem, they can be struggling in ways we don’t see. It’s a bit cryptic, but it seems to be connected to Lacy only.
Always check on your people man, you never know what somebody going through
