"In his second chapter, you saw even more," Brady went on to add. "You saw his excitement for life, and for achieving in areas only he thought possible. He became more of an entrepreneur, media mogul father, husband and mentor among other roles. And he didn't stop with himself. Kobe didn't care whether you were a man or woman, boy or girl, black or white, rich or poor, ordinary or extraordinary, he wanted you to become the best you could be."

"If there's anything I have learned and been inspired by through this tragic event is this, SEIZE THE DAY," Brady later ended his statement. "That's what Kobe always did, and that's what he wanted for us too."
