Buddy Baker’s parents were married 51-plus years and healthy individuals when they contracted COVID-19.

On Sunday, they passed away six minutes apart.

It’s a heartbreaking story with a tragic ending, but the NFL sports agent feels he needs to act now and help others.

“We usually look for a positive thing to be an inspiration,” Baker said. “We hope that what’s happened to us and our family inspires others to start needing and unifying with each other to make the right choice and the challenging choice.

“It’s going to take all of us getting together and deciding we’re going to stop the spread of this virus.”

Baker, the president and CEO of Exclusive Sports Group, LLC, represents dozens of NFL stars, including Shaquem and Shaquill Griffin. He also serves as agent to former Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin.

Baldwin shared Baker's powerful message in a post on Twitter.

My agent and friend lost both of his parents to Covid-19 two days ago. He has an important message for all of us. https://t.co/gQJoZtdo2S — Douglas Baldwin Jr 🧢 (@DougBaldwinJr) March 31, 2020
