We at Ghanafuo.com regret to inform you of the death of Jason Jenkins.
Jason Jenkins, who worked for the Miami Dolphins for nearly 14 years and rose to the position of senior vice president of communications, died unexpectedly Saturday, according to the team. He was 47.
Jenkins joined the Dolphins in 2009 after working for the San Francisco 49ers for nearly seven years.
He also worked at Texas Southern, Lehigh, and Texas Tech, where he was asked to deliver the commencement address in 2018.
“I’m here to tell you, it won’t be your geography that marks your journey,” Jenkins said in that speech. “It’ll be three things: the depth of your relationships, the foundation of your values and the courage of your decision-making. So my career, and life, have been awesome.”
The renowned Houston native is survived by his wife Elizabeth and three children.
The Dolphins announced his death during their preseason game Saturday against Philadelphia.
Following the Dolphins’ announcement, tributes poured in from other sports media relations professionals from a variety of leagues on social media. B.J. Evans, vice president of the Cleveland Cavaliers, described Jenkins as a “great human being.”
Our deepest condolence to his family and loved ones.
