Houston Rockets guard Patrick Beverly's grandfather died prior to tip-off of Game 4 of the NBA playoff game between the Rockets and San Antonio Spurs.
Beverley played 26 minutes in Game 4, posting 10 points and 6 assists in a 125-104 win. 

Nowhere in the article does it say his grandfather's name, so it must not be important.

Chance the Rapper is mourning the loss of his aunt Kimberly Bennett right now. Bennett died on Sunday after battling inflammatory breast cancer, which is a type of cancer that is, according to Chance, commonly misdiagnosed by those in the medical field.

 

He sounds like an expert on this; I'll buy it.

Yeah she was on my short list 2017.  If DDP went to 40 names she'd have made the cut. Transfer this to the Salvage Lot LOL.

Travis Kalanick's mother, Bonnie Kalanick, has been killed in a boating accident: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/uber-ceo-mother-killed_us_5929fde8e4b0065b20b6e8bd?po8&ncid=inblnkushpmg00000009

His father is apparently being treated for moderate injuries at an area hospital.

Don't think of it as the loss of a mother; think of it as a business opportunity!  Uber can branch out into hearse services.

I came across it, as I'm sure many others did. But it's prostate cancer, albeit stage IV. No dice.

Well, be glad you dodged a bullet, cause he's now cancer free.
