Bobby Rhine, former FC Dallas player, front-office figure and broadcaster, passed away Monday evening of a heart attack at age 35.
Known as a hardworking, genuine and caring individual to those who worked with him or played against him, Rhine's passing at such a young age has stunned the U.S. Soccer community, especially in the Dallas area where he was synonymous with the FC Dallas franchise.

Everyone connected with FC Dallas has been affected by this tragic news and we wish to send our heartfelt condolences to Bobby’s family. We want to take this opportunity to thank Bobby for his tireless work for our club and acknowledge everything he has done to help grow the game of soccer in our community. He will be greatly missed."
