The sportscaster was famous for his catchy phrases and delivery. He was also known for his profound words about living with cancer, which he spoke about after receiving the Jimmy V award at the ESPY Awards, just six months before he died at the age of 49.
"You beat cancer by how you live, why you live, and in the manner in which you live," he said during his speech.
