Red Sox's manager Alex Cora also released a statement. "Like everyone else in Red Sox Nation today, I'm absolutely devastated by Jerry's passing. We connected because of our love for the game of baseball. I will miss all of our conversations about the game and just passing time together throughout the years, whether in the clubhouse or dugout," said Cora.

Jerry's health battle started in 2008 when he underwent surgery to remove a low-grade cancerous area from his lung, but it wasn't the end as the former player went on to suffer from relapse, other side effects, and depression for years. Remy would take a leave of absence then but would always return to Sox with the same level of enthusiasm and passion. In August, Jerry announced that he was stepping down from the broadcasting booth to undergo cancer treatment.

I hope that I'll be rejoining you in your living rooms soon," Remy wrote on Twitter via NESN. The late sports broadcaster is now survived by his wife Phoebe and their three children, Jared, Jordan, and Jenna.
