Andy Reid is not only the coach of a championship football team. He's also a father and husband. He and his wife, Tammy, had five children together: Britt, Spencer, Crosby, Drew Ann, and Garrett. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Garrett was 29 when he died of a heroin overdose in August 2012. The family released a statement after the cause of death was revealed in October of that year (via ESPN): "These results sadly confirmed what we had expected all along. We understood that Garrett's long-standing battle with addiction was going to be difficult. He will, however, always have our family's love and respect for the courage he showed in trying to overcome it. In the end, we take comfort in our faith and know that he's in a better place."

After his 2020 Super Bowl victory, Reid said, via the Inquirer, "You can't help but think of [Garrett]. Absolutely." The coach was also asked what the win meant to his family. He responded, "I think it's great for them ... With the loss of Garrett, he was there for us, with us." Coach Reid's daughter, Crosby, said, "It was a moment with our family where we all got to cry and really feel my brother looking down on us. Garrett's spirit was there." Reid's wife said, "The fact that we were all here, that was amazing, except for 'G.' So sad, but I know he's watching us."
