Condolences To The Shaq Barrett Family
April 30th, 2023
Joe and Ira Kaufman express deep condolences to Bucs sacks king Shaq Barrett and his family today.
Shaq’s daughter Arrayah, just 2 years old, drowned in the family’s swimming pool in Tampa this morning and the Buccaneers confirmed the horrible news. She was the youngest of his four children.
Shaq bought a home in South Tampa with his wife after signing a multiyear deal with the Bucs following the 2020 Super Bowl season.

April 30th, 2023 at 5:38 pm
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
No words, nothing can undo that. Sickened beyond belief, Shaq is an A+ human, no one should go through something like this and yet it seems like the good people always seem to bear the brunt of tragedies. She will live forever in your heart Shaw and I know that’s a useless thing to say. Tears.

Horrible news. I cannot imagine.
April 30th, 2023 at 8:17 pm
Praying for Shaq and his family tonight and mourning his daughter. I follow him on Instagram and you can tell how proud he is to be a dad and a husband. It breaks my heart and I hope they don’t blame themselves for this.
April 30th, 2023 at 8:23 pm
Unimaginable! My ❤️ goes out to the Barrett family! Don’t know how you get through something like that.
April 30th, 2023 at 8:33 pm
What Redeemer said. Hug all your loved ones. Double down on being kind and forgiving. I’ve been a mess all afternoon, what must Shaq be feeling? Oh Lord.
April 30th, 2023 at 8:35 pm
I’m so, so sorry this happened. This is the most trying thing a couple can go through and I hope understanding and love win out. I have no idea how this happened but most parents have made a mistake that could have ended this way, but most were lucky that the worst-case scenario never happened. I pray that if a mistake was made, that they can forgive themselves sooner than later. We all make mistakes.
April 30th, 2023 at 8:36 pm
Prayers for you and your family Shaq.
May she rest in peace.
April 30th, 2023 at 8:36 pm
westernbuc – so so so well said, I share in your prayer. Guilt and blame, self loathing, loathing of the spouse, all common after such a tragedy according to literature. Shaq is a very spiritual man. Let’s also pray that he finds the strength to elevate and get through this tragedy to provide for the rest of the family.
So unfair.
April 30th, 2023 at 8:38 pm
Absolutely horrible, prayers Barretts
April 30th, 2023 at 8:52 pm
Just an awful thing, unimaginable. I hope he can find comfort in his family, friends, and his faith.
April 30th, 2023 at 8:55 pm
Shaq. My prayers are with you as I cry typing this. I have two daughters age 26 and 23 and if lost them I would have no purpose. Please stay strong and be the great husband and father that you are. I am a psychiatrist and my cell number is 813-924-2389. If you need me please reach out and I promise it will be very confidential. Joe, please forward my number to him if you can. Football takes a major back seat to life when life breaks your heart.💔😢
April 30th, 2023 at 8:55 pm
I remember how excited he was when she was born after the SB it’s real sad prayers for his friends and families
April 30th, 2023 at 8:58 pm
Father God, Lord of Heaven and Earth, I pray to you tonight to provide comfort and healing in the worst of time for this family. I pray this in the Name of Yeshua. Amen.
April 30th, 2023 at 9:01 pm
God, what horrible news. From what I have read Shaq is a stellar family man and very proud of his kids. Some things are more important than football. It seems like the good people of our world are often beset by tragedy. Prayers to the Barrett family and may your faith get you through this awful tragedy.
April 30th, 2023 at 9:14 pm
Oh God.
Heartbreaking, so heartbreaking.
I cant imagine a worse pain.
My prayers go out to the Barrett family.
May the Lord be with them.
Its so damn unfair.
April 30th, 2023 at 9:16 pm
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Shaq.
April 30th, 2023 at 9:22 pm
Oh my God! NO!
April 30th, 2023 at 9:27 pm
Had a similar situation in my early life, words cannot express how tragic this is.
April 30th, 2023 at 9:29 pm
[Really tacky given the subject of the post. — Joe]
April 30th, 2023 at 9:36 pm
That is just awful and fills me with sadness
God Bless the Barrett family at this tragic moment and give them the strength to move forward with their lives. In Jesus name, Amen 🙏❤
April 30th, 2023 at 9:42 pm
Bro, hope you know, Jesus Loves You and your baby is smiling in HEAVEN. you and yours are in my prayers. Rejoice in the FACT your baby is waiting to hang out with you in eternity.
Continue to live for Christ and NOTHING that happens is bad. Your baby is so loved and we are all so sorry you only had a shory time to be with your baby.
Jesus Loves you my man. Time Heals All Things. TAMPA LOVES YOU SHAQ!!!
April 30th, 2023 at 9:51 pm
Shaq! My heartfelt condolences to you and your family. A comforting scripture is John 5:28, 29. It assures us that there will be a time when God will raise your daughter from her resting place. And Rev 21:3, 4 talks about a time when death will be a thing of the past.
May God be with you and your family during this time of distress!
April 30th, 2023 at 9:58 pm
Very nice Crackwise. Well said. I hope Shaq reads our comments. Nothing but love from this site.
April 30th, 2023 at 10:24 pm
This is so sad and tragic. Heart breaking. Praying for strength and healing for the Barrett Family…
April 30th, 2023 at 10:53 pm
I am heartbroken to hear this news, Mr.Barrett. Praying for you, your wife and entire family. We pray that you all experience Jesus love and comfort.
For this is the hope that lies within us: “And when this perishable puts on the imperishable, and this mortal puts on immortality, then the Scripture will be fulfilled that says, “Death is swallowed up in victory (vanquished forever). O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin [by which it brings death] is the law; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory [as conquerors] through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:54-57 AMP
Love you and your family, dear brother.
April 30th, 2023 at 11:05 pm
OMG I’m so sorry
April 30th, 2023 at 11:12 pm
Shaq and your family, my heart aches, I’m so sorry
April 30th, 2023 at 11:25 pm
@Joe
This is to you, not for publication.
I am the last person to seek a censor, but can we get rid of the post above by username “bucsfansareRACIST?” I’d hate for someone in the Barrett family to read that.
Thank you.
April 30th, 2023 at 11:27 pm

May 1st, 2023 at 5:42 pm
Devastated & heart-broken by this news.
It makes the rest of sports seem just a little insignificant today.
Shaq is such a good-hearted, loveable soul. It’s really hard to fathom what he & family are going through yesterday & today.
