BOULDER, Colo. -- Former teammates joined family and friends to say goodbye to 1994 Heisman Trophy winner Rashaan Salaam on Friday, remembering his warm heart and peaceful spirit.About 250 people gathered for a funeral service for Salaam at the Islamic Center of Boulder near Folsom Field, where Salaam carved his name into the University of Colorado record book from 1992 to 1994.He was found dead Monday night in a park not far from the school at the age of 42. His mother, Khalada, told USA TODAY Sports that police said they suspect he killed himself.The service followed Fridays regular prayers. Some people sat on the floor while others sat on chairs brought into the center for the event. Afterward, Salaams simple wooden casket was carried outside and mourners, including former Colorado coach Bill McCartney, lingered to talk and hug one another.Imam Abdur-Rahim Ali told those at the service that they will be able to hold onto their memories of Salaam.We still have all the wonderful memories from our brother Rashaan, his good spirit, his appetite for good food. We still remember all those good things. We never forget those things. Those things are going to be with us forever, he said.Former teammate T.J. Cunningham said he would remember Salaams infectious smile and laugh and all the good times he and his children had hanging out with Salaam.Michael Westbrook, who played with Salaam at Colorado and went on to play with the Cincinnati Bengals and Washington Redskins, said nothing seemed to be able to make Salaam mad. Any anger in a room would somehow disappear whenever Salaam entered, Westbrook said.Thats just what he brought as a beautiful human being, he said. Hank Aaron Jersey .

This was supposed to be the?season the formerly eighth-ranked Bulgarian, who entered the Rogers Cup at No. 48, rediscovered his shot-making.Instead, it had become the one in which he dumped a match in Istanbul by racket-smashing his way to a DQ -- and otherwise twisted himself in knots.But right now all that feels, if not far away, at least not of the moment. In the space of a few hours Monday, the 25-year-old came back from nearly getting ousted by a Japanese challenger in his first-round match at the Rogers Cup to giving a surprisingly spirited aerial show with his doubles partner, Stan Wawrinka.Advancing past the first round of a non-Grand Slam event shouldnt have a revelatory feeling. But it does for Dimitrov, not least because of the way he did it -- breaking down the suddenly bewildered Yuichi Sugita, who was three points from winning in a second-set tiebreaker.After a half hours rest, Dimitrov came back, moved to a side court and, with only a handful of people watching, made aerial shots like the one where he leaped up on the ad side at net, twisted his body to adjust to a drive into his gut, and then moved his racket like a lead guitarist to redirect the ball sideways and low across the net so it kicked off the tape of the forehand doubles alley. Epic, was how he described it.These are the kind of matches I need to play now, Dimitrov said. Ive been working very hard, even though Ive had bad results.Expectations have always been high for Dimitrov, who was dubbed Baby Fed from the moment he came on to the scene, fair or not.ddddddddddddI had a little burden all my life with Rogers thing, comparing me and all that, Dimitrov said 24 hours before the Swiss shut down his season to further rehab his knee. It started when I was a junior, and it didnt help. Didnt help at all. Ive been dealing with this all my career so far.Thank God thats all behind me.Dimitrov says hes done rebelling against comparisons.At some point in your life, he said, you need to sit down and say, What do I want to do? How do I want to be remembered? Whats my legacy? And whats important to me? This is the type of conversation I had with myself. Its very hard to look at the man in the mirror. Because you cant hide anything. I think, for me, OK, there were a lot of things I had to say to myself and accept.Digging himself out of the first round of the Rogers Cup doesnt qualify as career breakthrough -- not when his contemporary and Canadas hometown star, Milos Raonic, is coming off a Wimbledon final. But its a start.So are the Olympics.Unlike several of his fellow millennials, who dont see the sense of competing in an event that doesnt get them rankings points, Dimitrov sees another way to get his groove -- if not his gravitas -- back. Maybe more importantly, hes trying to rediscover how to have fun.In London, I didnt even get the chance to go to the village, Dimitrov said. Im going in the village now, so Im excited.The twinkle is back, in the eyes of a new man.
