Former NC State swimming and diving coach Jack Roney has died at age 39 in what his friend described as a "tragic accident," just weeks after celebrating his 15th wedding anniversary. The university mourned his passing, noting his impact on the program and community. A GoFundMe organized for his wife Maresa and their five children has raised over $69,000. Roney's sister Amber Moore remembered him as "the glue" to his family, while another sister, Katie Corum, called him "an amazing man who loved his wife and kids more than anything." No further details about his cause of death have been made publicly available.
