Alongside a picture of his daughter, the cornerback shared a loving message.
He said: “We are heartbroken that our beautiful baby girl, Amani Joy passed away on Monday morning.
“She was the best blessing we could have asked for, and her joyous spirit made us smile from ear to ear.
“She taught us to have patience, trust, and a positive outlook on life. She showed us true strength and bravery.
“She overcame adversity at a young age and was always happy, lighting up every room with her smile.
“Having the privilege of being her parents and seeing the world through her eyes has changed us for the better.
“She will forever be daddy’s best friend and mommy’s little girl.
“We’ll miss you and love you forever, Amani Joy.”
The 49ers also released a statement which read: “The 49ers family is devastated by the sudden passing of Charvarius Ward’s beloved one-year-old daughter, Amani Joy.
“Amani truly embodied pure happiness and brought joy to all those around her with her sweet demeanor and contagious laugh.
