Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is mourning the loss of his maternal grandmother, Margaret Ebarb.
Prescott announced her passing on social media Friday.
"We wouldn't be here without you and I promise to make you proud," he posted on Instagram.
He added that he'll forever be thankful to her for teaching him "what it means to be a faithful servant."

His Instagram stories ended with a video of him dancing with his grandmother and this quote -- "Rest easy Mammy and I love you so much… until we dance again."
Prescott has had his share of family tragedy. His mother died from colon cancer in November 2013 when he was a sophomore at Mississippi State, his middle brother Jace died at age 31 in April 2020.
In addition to the news of his grandmother's passing, Prescott has been battling through a calf strain suffered during the overtime win against the New England Patriots on Oct. 17.
