January 4, 2016, marks one year since the death of Stuart Scott.
Scott was a beloved SportsCenter anchor for many years and a UNC alumnus. He died last year after a long battle with cancer.
Scott’s two daughters – Taelor and Sydni Scott – released a letter to their father on Monday.
You lived your life with a fierce sense of authenticity, passion and competitiveness, giving it your all and reaching for the best in everything you did. When you were diagnosed with cancer, you showed the world how to fight with that same fierce passion, instilling a sense of hope and inspiration to so many. And in the end you taught us all how to win – live or die – by how you live, why you live and the manner in which you live.

Scott was inducted into the NC Journalism Hall of Fame earlier this year.
Scott’s memoir was released in March.
