49ers Star Charvarius Ward’s 1-Year-Old Daughter Dies

The 49ers cornerback, who founded his organization Charvarius for Change in 2021, posted a beautiful photo of his late 1-year-old, who smiled as she sat in front of another loved one.

Alongside this image, Charvarius penned a heartfelt message that began by highlighting his devastation over the fact that Amani Joy Ward passed away on Monday morning (October 28, 2024).

He then expressed, “She was the best blessing we could have asked for, and her joyous spirit made us smile from ear to ear. She taught us to have patience, trust, and a positive outlook on life.”

The bereaved father, who began his collegiate career at Hinds CC (MS), emphasized how brave and strong his little girl was.

He noted how she overcame adversity at such a young age and lit up every room with her happiness and adorable smile.

Charvarius also spoke about the privilege he and the little girl’s mom, Monique, felt in being her parents and getting to see the world from Amani’s perspective, citing how it changed them for the better.

“She will forever be daddy’s best friend and mommy’s little girl. We’ll miss you and love you forever, Amani Joy,” concluded Charvarius in his caption.

In addition to his Instagram dedication, Charvarius shared two posts on his Instagram Story — one displayed a black background with overlaid text that read, “I’m Broken 💔💔💔💔.”
