Joe Rice, the legendary South Carolina lawyer and titan of philanthropy, passed away at 72, leaving behind a legacy that reshaped the state’s legal landscape and powered the Gamecocks’ athletic rise.

His story is one of grit, gratitude, and giving back — and his loss has left a gaping hole in both legal circles and the heart of Columbia.
