Aldon Smith<\/a> spent the final hours of his life giving back … delivering pizzas to homeless people in California.<\/p>\n

Pastor Scott Wagers tells TMZ … Bay Area business owner Amir Shirazi surprised him on Saturday when he\u00a0showed up with the former NFL star and a bunch of pizzas to give out to unhoused people in San Jose.<\/p>\n

Wagers works with an outreach organization, The Mercy Mobile of Silicon Valley, helping out the area’s homeless population … and he tells us Aldon wasn’t acting strangely when he saw him.<\/p>\n

The pastor tells TMZ … “Aldon was a very gentle, friendly guy. Nothing seemed off other than maybe seeming a little tired.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sadly … Wagers tells us a few hours after Aldon helped deliver supplies, Shirazi called to tell him Aldon had died<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to the pastor, Shirazi said after delivering the pizza, he and the NFL alum made a few stops and then swung by his house.<\/p>\n

Shirazi told Wagers he went inside his home and when he came out, he found Aldon unresponsive<\/a> in his truck. According to Wagers, Shirazi initially thought the former 49ers player was sleeping.<\/p>\n

Aldon was transported to Good Samaritan Hospital in San Jose, where he was later\u00a0pronounced dead<\/a>. He was only 36 years old.<\/p>\n

The Santa Clara County Medical Examiner’s Office is investigating Aldon’s death.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NFL Star Aldon Smith Feeding the Homeless … Hours Before Sudden Death Published June 15, 2026 11:56 AM…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":738771,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,593,85],"class_list":["post-738770","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/738770","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=738770"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/738770\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/738771"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=738770"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=738770"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=738770"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
