After former MLB player Darryl Hamilton was killed in what appears to be a murder-suicide, his brother John released an obituary.

Darryl Hamilton Reportedly Shot To Death In Frightening Incident

Posted on New York Daily News on Saturday, the statement gives details on how the baseball star grew up as well as all of his accomplishments- one of them including his attendance to Nicholls State University where he made the baseball team as a non-scholarship athlete.

"This was quite an accomplishment given the fact that he did not play high school baseball," the obituary reads. "At Nicholls, Darryl was an All-American, stole 140 bases, scored 193 runs, and in 1985, batted a career-high .379. in 1986, Darryl was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers and quickly moved through the minor leagues culminating with his call-up to the majors in 1988 by Milwaukee."

"Darryl also worked in the On-Field Operations department for the Office of the Commissioner of Baseball."
