Former San Francisco 49ers tight end Greg Clark died this week after battling a brain condition known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy, his family announced.<\/p>\n

Clark was 49. No further details of his death were immedia<\/a>tely available, including how and where it occurred, although his family confirmed his passing in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is with great sadness we announce the unexpected passing of Greg Clark, 49, cherished husband, father, son, brother and friend to so many. Greg was a dedicated family man who was successful at everything he did, from his academic and athletic achievements as a Stanford scholar athlete to his role as a tight end for the San Francisco 49ers, to the creation of a successful real estate platform throughout the Bay Area. Most importantly, he was a cherished and dedicated husband to his wife of 23 years. His recent suffering from CTE symptoms cannot extinguish the breadth and depth of his impact on us and others and we are forever grateful for the time we have had with him. It is our hope that through further research we can gain more knowledge surrounding CTE.\u201d<\/p>\n
