As good of a basketball player as he apparently was, he was an even better person. A sad day for the Miners. Rest in peace Willie Cager.

Hopefully they can name a facility after him.

He did a lot for the community... I played basketball in his little league. Was always a very nice man. RIP to Mr. Cager.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen. May almighty God bless us with his peace and strength, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.🙏

He was indeed a legend. He was a living legend with a name that made him a natural. He was a crowd favorite.
