Horry’s daughter dies of rare genetic condition

Spurs Nation

Former Spur Robert Horry’s daughter, Ashlyn, died earlier today after battling a rare genetic condition for many years.

Ashlyn Horry was 17.

The Birmingham News reported that Ashlyn Horry was born on April 2, 1994 with severe respiratory issues and other complications. She eventually was diagnosed with a disorder that years later became known as the 1p36 Deletion Syndrome, caused by the missing part of chromosome No. 1.

Her father and his friends created the Ashlyn Horry Foundation several years ago to help support other families with children who are battling similar illnesses. When she was originally diagnosed, her condition was so rare that it didn’t even have a nmae.

The thoughts and prayers of all of Spurs Nation go out to Horry and his family at this difficult time.

My condolences to Horry and his family.

I heard her illness many years ago. I am sorry to hear that! It's hard to see such a young life go away.

My condolences to Horry and his family.

Ashlyn Horry Foundation.
RIP Ashlyn Horry.
