Rex Culpepper, son of Survivor stars Brad and Monica Culpepper, has died after a dirt bike accident at 28. Rex’s fiancée, Savanna Morgan, announced the former Syracuse quarterback’s death via Instagram on Monday. “No one expects to meet the love of your life and lose them in only 6 short years after meeting,” she said. Rex passed away from injuries he sustained during the tragic accident, according to the Tampa Bay Times. Rex played quarterback for Syracuse University from 2017 to 2020. The star played while undergoing treatment for testicular cancer, which he was diagnosed with in the spring of 2018. “Rex lived his life with endless passion, having overcome cancer at the age of 20 while playing for the Orange. Appearing in 30 games, Rex played football as fiercely as he lived life,” the Syracuse football team said about their quarterback. Rex’s father, Brad Culpepper, was also a football player, playing as a defensive tackle for the Minnesota Vikings, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Chicago Bears in an eight-year run in the NFL. Both of Rex’s parents, Brad and Monica, competed on Survivor: Blood vs. Water, an edition of the popular show that features returning castaways competing against their loved ones. Monica also competed on Survivor: One World, and Brad was runner-up on Survivor: Game Changers.
