John Calipari’s Statement on the Passing of Hayley Robic

Hayley Robic, the daughter of UK assistant coach John Robic, passed away last Friday after a battle with liver cancer. She was 27 years old.

Earlier this week, the family decided to share the news.

“Last Friday, our family surrounded our big sister, firstborn, and best friend as she took her last breath,” Hayley’s sister, Sophie, said in a statement written on Facebook. “Hayley, like in all things, battled her cancer with grace and dignity; she was fearless and brave and never caved to her diagnosis.

“It is an understatement to say that Hayley left this world better than she found it.”

On Thursday, John Calipari released the following statement.

“We are all devastated and grieving over the loss of Coach Robic’s oldest daughter, Hayley,” Calipari posted on social media.

“Please keep Robes and his family in your thoughts and prayers.”
