"The 49ers are heartbroken and shocked by the news of Parys' tragic passing," the team said via a statement. "Parys was a beloved member of our organization that lived life with an extraordinary amount of passion and joy, while leaving an indelible mark on everyone he came across. We extend our condolences to Parys' family and loved ones."
The 49ers made Haralson a fifth-round draft pick out of Tennessee in 2006. He spent seven seasons with the team before two seasons (2013-14) with the New Orleans Saints. The linebacker recorded 275 tackles, 49 tackles for a loss, 63 quarterback hits, 28 sacks, and five passes defensed during his nine NFL seasons, per Pro Football Reference.
After his playing days, Haralson spent three years with the 49ers as the team's director of player engagement, where he reported to Keena Turner.
