A young man that played on my football team and later worked at my company died today in a car wreck. He was extremely close to my 25 year old son. He left 3 kids and a wife. I’m really feeling in now that I’m home and things are quiet. Just a tragic thing for my family.
When I got into youth football our teams comprised mostly of fatherless young men. We recruited the problem kids and traveled over states to play against the best of the best. Deion Sanders, Jamal Lewis, Snoop and the like had teams that traveled and played in Super Bowls/tournaments. Those kids became like sons to me. We raised money to spend on their travel and give them homes. This kid was one of the special ones for me. Just a tremendous young man that lived life with the biggest heart and personality.
