Sharpe's widow, Tameka Williams-Sharpe, shared the news of his passing Saturday on social media.
"With deep sorrow and abiding love, I share that my beloved husband, Luis Sharpe, has passed away," she wrote, per The Arizona Republic. "His strength, love, and faith were a light to all who knew him. I am grateful for every moment we shared and for the many prayers and kindnesses extended to our family.
"Though my heart is heavy, I trust that Luis is now resting in God's eternal peace. Please continue to keep our family lifted in prayer."
Born in Havana, Sharpe grew up in Detroit and became a first-round draft pick (16th overall) in 1982 out of UCLA.
