Mark Krebs

Condolences to the family of former UK basketball player Mark Krebs, whose mother Terri Krebs, who passed away at age 49 today at her home after a nine-year fight with breast cancer.

Steve Moss of WKYT has a report, as does Mary Jo Perino of WLEX-TV.

Here is Mark Story’s column on Terri Krebs from UK’s Senior Day.

And a Jerry Tipton story from October in the H-L on Terri Krebs’ battle.

UK released a statement from head coach John Calipari:

“I know I speak for all of the Big Blue Nation when I express my deepest sympathies to Mark Krebs, his family and their friends as they mourn the loss of Mark’s mom, Terri. One of the special parts of our first year in Kentucky was being able to coach Mark and get to know him and his family. I just finished writing the foreword to Mark’s upcoming book and my words were largely inspired by Terri’s memorable participation in Senior Day ceremonies. Rest in peace Terri and know that all of the Big Blue Nation is here for your family.”
