The star player for the Leeds Rhinos and England passed away on June 2 after a long battle with motor neurone disease (MND). He was only 41 years old.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of the month, hundreds of people stood in line to say goodbye to the Rugby League star.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

At this point, a civil reception was held at Leeds Civic Hall to honor Rob\u2019s life and work.<\/p>\n

Rob\u2019s family and about 180 other people came to the event, which was put on by Abigail Marshall Katung, the Lord Mayor of Leeds.<\/p>\n

Jamie Jones-Buchanan, their old teammate, Tanya Curry, CEO of the MND Association, and James Lewis, leader of Leeds City Council, were also invited.<\/p>\n

His home was in West Yorkshire. He died in a hospital near there, just hours before the ground was broken on a new center for MND research that will be named after him.<\/p>\n

Around noon on July 7, hundreds of people began to line the streets to pay their respects as Burrow was driven to a private service.<\/p>\n

A lot of people wearing Leeds Rhino shirts turned the roads blue. Junior players from Featherstone Lions ARLFC also showed up in their gear.<\/p>\n

A police motorcycle rode behind the star\u2019s hearse as it drove by the crowds.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

There were then five cars behind them with the rugby legend\u2019s wife Lindsey, whom he married in 2006, and their three children, Macy, Maya, and Jackson.<\/p>\n

The cortege also had Rob\u2019s sisters Joanne Hartshorne and Claire Burnett, as well as his parents Geoff and Irene.<\/p>\n

He was buried in blue cloth that said \u201cDad,\u201d \u201cBro,\u201d and \u201cSon\u201d in white flower bouquets that were placed in the back.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

His group stopped for a moment at Featherstone Lions\u2019 ground, where the star played junior rugby. A book of condolences was opened so that people could sign it.<\/p>\n

He asked that his moving last message be shared after he died, in which he told people not to \u201cwaste a moment\u201d of their lives.<\/p>\n

Burrow stated: \u201cIn a world full of adversity we must still dare to dream.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The dad of three was told he has MND in 2019 and has been working for the cause for a long time.<\/p>\n

Rob\u2019s wife Lindsey Burrow said that the rugby star \u201cmade the world a better place,\u201d which was a very moving tribute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
