Former Puerto Rican boxer Prichard Colón passed away on Thursday at the age of 33, as confirmed by his father, Richard Colón, via social media. 'I regret to inform you of my son Prichard's departure from this earthly world. He is now in a better place,' his father expressed in an emotional message. Prichard's mother, Nieves Colón, also confirmed his death to Telemundo 31. Richard Colón revealed that he tried to fulfill one of his son's wishes: to return to Puerto Rico for a vacation. 'I did everything possible to make his dream of coming back to Puerto Rico for a vacation come true, but it couldn't happen,' he stated, while thanking his family for their support over the years and asking for prayers. Prichard Colón's life changed drastically in 2015 after suffering severe brain damage during a boxing match. The injuries left him unable to care for himself, and he had been under his family's care since then. No additional details about the circumstances of his death or funeral arrangements have been provided at this time.
