Former NFL star Tre' Johnson has sadly passed away. On Facebook Sunday, the former offensive lineman's wife Irene Johnson shared the sad news with her followers: "It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that my husband, Tre' Johnson, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on Sunday February 15, 2026, during a brief family trip." She said herself and their children - Chloe, EJ, EZ, and Eden - are "devastated and in shock" over their beloved dad's death: "If you know Tre' you know what a devoted and loving father, he was to his children. Tre' lived for his kid's sports activities and supported them through every practice and game until he took his last breath. He shared his passion for Frenchie's and riding his motorcycle with me and his fellow biking buddies." So, so sad.

He was offensive guard who played eight incredible seasons primarily for the Washington Redskins (1994-2001) before he went to the Cleveland Browns in 2001. He was a standout at Temple University. He was a 1994 second round draft pick and earned a Pro Bowl selection in 1999. He was known for his durability and strength during his time in Washington. He loved the game and prided himself on his tremendous knowledge of it. " She wrapped up her post by saying Tre' spent his final years teaching. And while she didn't reveal a cause of death, she said he had been suffering health issues recently: "After retirement, he also found his second career passion, education. He worked as a History Teacher at the Landon School in Bethesda Maryland, where he was beloved by the young male students he mentored and the faculty. His recent battles with health issues forced him to take a leave of absence. We will miss him so much." He was only 54 years old. Devastating.
