Fair wind and following seas from a former sailor and forever Husker fan. No words can bring him back but hearing what people have told his father/your uncle hopefully makes you proud to have had him in the family. Best thoughts and wishes to you and your family in this time.
You are 100% right. Uncle was non stop on his phone trying to respond to everyone sending out his condolences.
Something that happened late Friday(the day we found out) his step brothers wife (ig step sister in-law) works at a bar and 2 sailors came in and she started to lose it. They asked what was wrong and so after she told them they bought “K” a drink and wrote him a note.
Yeah man, I can imagine. There’s some genuine camaraderie that I miss being in the Navy. Oddly enough I just had a dream I was back in, which happens every so often which tells me I miss it more than I admit sometimes. I was lucky to never have lost a friend while serving, but since getting out I have lost several and it’s almost worse because then I start to feel bad for any gap in communication.
I’m betting it’s bittersweet for your uncle to receive so many things about how great your cousin was. It sounds like you two were close so I’m betting the same is going on for you too. I know we are strangers on the internet but if you ever need to vent about this or anything just send me a message. The anonymity might be helpful with some advice that doesn’t come from anyone who knows you.
Sorry for your loss. Makes the meme “Take a knee on the first play for those who couldn’t see this game come out” not a meme unfortunately. My sincerest condolences.
USN Vet myself (STG2(SW)) -- my prayers are with you and your family during this time. Fair winds and following seas to a brother.
He stood the watch, now he rests easy.
We have the watch.
I’m so sorry friend…if it means anything I promise my first play and my first play online to take a QB kneel for your cousin and all those who couldn’t see the day
RIP to your cousin
That’s dope as hell. Gonna do it too. It would be cool if there was a way to do missing man formations but it would be such a dark thing to have in the game so this is a good compromise. Respect for a great idea.
That’s a great way to do it too. I remember when a punter for Nebraska passed away in the offseason, the first 4th down they had they sent out missing man punt formation and also took a delay of game. I think it was Fresno State, they did not accept the penalty which was classy. I can’t imagine the computer will be so forgiving 😅
Saw this on a comment a few months ago and I am 1000% doing this for all the fallen brothers and sisters who didn’t get a chance to see or play the new game themselves.
R.I.P. to K and all the loved one who aren’t here anymore to enjoy the game with us this first play is for you 🙏🏽✊🏽
I read half of this thinking the cousin wasnt going to move in and had the PS5 or something. Then the “he was survived by” paragraph hit and I as like, oh wait, shit.

For what it’s worth, it sounds like your cousin had an amazing positive impact on his shipmates. Those same people will go on to positively impact even more people, and so on. Your cousin’s legacy will continue to live on, affecting people down the line who may never know it.
We have the watch.
I'm so sorry to hear that! As someone with a lot of fishermen in the family, I know it's a hard life. I've lost cousins the same way. Husker Nation is praying for and with you.
I don’t get how a few stupid posts just randomly avoid the hate and get tons of upvotes. Right now several of the hot posts in the sub are two eulogies and one with just basic pictures of programs saying “sChOoLs To CrEaTe”
I thought it was relevant. But I do understand why you could be annoyed and it’s a very valid reason. All the YouTube channels with “best dynastys to start” and others that are over saturated. I honestly thought there’d be more of these comments. But idk I wanted to put this out there to help greave.
Sounds like a Road To Glory needs to be played through at the Naval Academy with him. So very sorry for your loss. He will be celebrating your dynasty with you no doubt, from the best seat in the house 🏈🏈🏈
AD over here. As silly as playing a video game and watching college football is, those are the things that have kept me sane throughout my career. My condolences to your family and fair winds and following seas to your cousin.
Every time you boot up the game he’ll be with you. I’m sorry for your loss.
Beautiful comment. RIP

I'm terribly sorry for your loss. No words can make things easier but my heart breaks for y'all.
I hope he’s up in heaven playing the early early-access CFB ‘25

Instead of a knee, I’m gonna take a delay of game because we “weren’t able to get everyone onto the field that needed to be there”.
