Posted Sep 2, 2008
The Christmas present was part of the plan for the celebration of Chase Rice’s senior season. The Rice family, including brothers Casey and Chad, would tailgate and then cheer from the stands while Chase played for the Tar Heels.

Daniel Rice, after battling malignant melanoma for four years, had died at home in Fairview of a heart attack at age 57. (Asheville Citizen-Times)
