That tragedy changed Patrick's life, he said.
"It changed me in multiple ways," Patrick said. "I feel like I'm pretty much — I wouldn't say [the] leader — but I had to take over the role that my dad did for our whole family. So, making sure my mom's good, my brothers and sisters, my cousins, uncles, aunts. My dad was a guy that brought a smile to everybody's face and brought that positivity.
"I felt like he prepared me for it, so when it happened, I already knew what he wanted for me and that's to always keep family first and make sure our family is good no matter what."
Fant, meanwhile, chose the Open Door Mission in his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska.
"It's a homeless shelter and basically I want to raise money for kids that I worked with back home to have sports equipment and stuff for sports that they want to play and things like that," Fant said. "So, hopefully I can raise a lot of money."
Fans can help Fant's effort, as he is one of dozens of Broncos players who are putting their custom cleats up for auction, with all proceeds going to their designated non-profit organization.
