‘My life has been a roller coaster in every since of the word [sic],’ Ware wrote on Facebook in the early hours of Saturday morning.

‘From high school to college to NFL. I've never had it easy nor have I ever forgotten where I come from. I pray the lord to give me a sign.

‘I've lost my youngest son to a truck that didn't see him, I can't imagine what it felt like and would trade myself any day to have my son Danny Josiah back with his brother, sister and family.’

Ware added he was ‘so thankful’ that he had a chance to talk to his son before the accident.

‘We both got to say we loved each other,’ he added. ‘Anybody that know me and know how much I love my kids please pretty please pray for my family as I'm at a breaking point and need all the help from God/family/friends we can get.’

A post on a GoFundMe page, set up to raise funds for funeral costs and travel arrangements, adds: 'On Friday, January 29, 2016 Danny and Liberty experienced a parent's worst nightmare, the loss of their youngest son, Danny Josiah Ware, in a tragic accident.

'Josiah along with his brother, cousins, and mom were playing outside when Josiah was struck by a vehicle. 

'Although, passing quickly, without pain, the pain of his loss will be felt by the entire family and his sweet spirit will always be cherished and remembered.'
