Edmonton Oilers forward Colby Cave died at the age of 25 on Saturday after suffering a brain bleed earlier in the week.

On Tuesday, his poor widow Emily shared that he was complaining of a headache just days before he died. She did so as he posted a video of their emotional wedding vows on Instagram in her latest remembrance of her husband. 

“Last week at this time, Colby was just complaining of a headache,’’ she wrote on Instagram. “I had no idea that it would be the last night we would kiss each other goodnight before bed.”


The three-minute video shows Colby holding back tears as he reads his personalized vows to Emily on the altar.  The two were married for less than a year before his death.

“Tonight, I’m listening to his vows on repeat to help dull even the littlest pain,’’ she wrote. “I love you Colb, thank you for making me the happiest wife in the world. My heart aches for you.”

After undergoing surgery to remove a colloid cyst putting pressure on his brain, Cave was alone as Emily was unable to be by his side due to COVID-19 restrictions at the hospital. 

Emily could never have imagined that she’d be now alone, without her husband, who had just complained of a headache the last time she saw him…

After reaching the NHL with the Boston Bruins, Cave was picked up by Edmonton during the 2018-19 season and played in 11 games with the Oilers in 2019-20.

Our hearts break for Emily and the entire Cave family.
