Bryant Young delivers emotional message to his son Colby, who died of cancer, during Hall of Fame speech

On a day full of memories for some of the best NFL players of all time, San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Bryant Young delivered the moment fans will never forget. Young dedicated a portion of his Hall of Fame speech to his son Colby, who died of cancer in 2016.

Young began the heartfelt and emotional message by stating he has mentioned all but one of his children. He then shared Colby's story and explained why remembering Colby was so important on the day Young was inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Young said Colby started experiencing headaches at age 13. Doctors discovered and removed a tumor, which was cancerous. Young talked about Colby's heart and determination after that surgery. Colby's cancer returned a year later. He died in Oct. 2016.

Young said Colby wanted to know if he would be remembered after he died. Young said the family "assured Colby we would keep his memory alive and continue speaking his name." Young then directly addressed Colby. Breaking into tears, Young said, "Colby, you live on in our hearts. We will always speak your name."

Fans clapped and gave Young a standing ovation after he delivered that message.
