The family of former NRL player Tye Alroe have been left shattered after the 39-year-old father died suddenly in a gym tragedy last week.
In an incredibly moving tribute, his grieving loved ones have now made a public plea to British rock band Coldplay, hoping they can help fulfil a final wish for his heartbroken young daughter.
A Life Cut Short
Tye Alroe, who played for the South Sydney Rabbitohs and was known for his strength and character on the field, passed away unexpectedly. The circumstances surrounding his death at the gym have sent shockwaves through the rugby league community and beyond.
Described as a devoted father, his sudden loss has left an unimaginable void for his family, particularly his daughter.
A Daughter's Dream
In their grief, the family has found a poignant focus: a wish to see Alroe's daughter experience a moment of joy. They have publicly asked the members of Coldplay if they would help make her dream come true, though the specific nature of the dream was not detailed in their emotional appeal.
This heartfelt request has captured public attention, turning a private tragedy into a story of a family's love and their attempt to find a sliver of light in their darkest hour.
The Rugby Community Mourns
Former teammates, clubs, and fans have poured out tributes online, remembering Alroe not just as a formidable player but as a kind and much-loved man. His passing is a stark reminder of the fragility of life.
The family's unique and public appeal to one of the world's biggest bands adds a deeply human layer to this devastating story, as they seek to honour a father's memory through his child's happiness.
