Former NFL player Chris Draft has lost his wife Keasha to cancer a month to the day after trying the knot.

According to The YBF, the two wed in a small ceremony on November 27th in Atlanta, Georgia, where Keesha, undeterred by her illness, used a wheelchair to get down the aisle and managed to take a few steps at the end. Although unwell, she looked amazing in the couple's wedding trailer below.

Draft, 35, played for several NFL teams during his career, including the Chicago Bears and the Atlanta Falcons, ending his 12-year NFL run with the Washington Redskins in 2010.

Our condolences and prayers go out to Draft and Keasha's family.

Funeral plans are pending.
