"Howard is so much more than a colleague and coach. He and Jen and their children are dear friends to everyone they meet. Their positivity and energy lift up those around them. We will miss Jen and Jaidyn dearly and we will put our arms around Howard and Jerell and the entire family, giving them love and support during this unspeakable time." said Head coach Greg Gard.

Moore's life has been closely linked with the University's nearly 30 years. Moore joined the school as a student-athlete, left, and returned to assist in coaching after spending five seasons as head coach at the University of Illinois.

The University was his home, and the community has pledged its support to him in his hour of grief.

Moore and his young son are out of danger, and are expected to make a full recovery.

The worse will come when the bereaved father and son have to take up the threads of their lives without their wife and mother, daughter and sister.

The date of the memorial service and funerals for Jennifer and Jaidyn Moore have yet to be announced, but an outpouring of love and support from the sports community and the University has been forthcoming for Moore and his surviving child.
