YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Jeff Webb was known as the “father of modern cheerleading,” and served as a mentor to the late right wing activist Charlie Kirk. Earlier this year, the 76-year-old founder of the cheerleading company Varsity Spirit was playing pickleball when he suffered a freak accident: he fell and hit his head. The fall resulted in what would be a life-ending injury. Webb was placed on life support for approximately two weeks before his family made the decision to remove him. Inside Edition's Ann Mercogliano has more.
