Jets Legend Nick Mangold, 41, Passes Away Due to Complications from Kidney Disease​

Mangold recently posted a letter on social media that detailed his battle with kidney disease that, "atter a rough summer," required him to undergo dialysis treatments.

"In 2006, I was diagnosed with a genetic defect that has led to chronic kidney disease," Mangold wrote in his letter addressed to "My NY Jets community." "I'm undergoing dialysis as we look for a kidney transplant.

I always knew this day would come, but I thought I would have more time."

An acquaintance had a hereditary condition where they pass away at mid 40s. He made it to 43. That is if I recall correctly. The Lord is King.

This happened in October

I had never heard about it until it popped up on my browser.

And "last year" could be December 31, 2025. Instead it was October 2025.
