This is a really sad story. By all accounts, VJax was a really top-notch dude. Both of his parents were Armed Forces and he was very involved in military outreach, charity, etc.

https://fansided.com/2021/02/15/buccane ... ing-death/
But for Glazer, Jackson’s biggest impact came off the field. Jackson created the Jackson in Action 83 Foundation to support military families, as he himself was the son of military parents. Jackson and his wife, Lindsey, held baby showers for families and wrote a series of “Danny DogTags” children’s books with the purpose of giving guidance to kids in military families.

As a result of his work in the Tampa Bay community, the Buccaneers named Jackson their Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee for four consecutive seasons (2013-16).
Autopsy report finally released.
The autopsy report revealed that Jackson suffered from alcoholic cardiomyopathy, hepatic steatosis and fibrosis, esophageal varices, ascites, jaundice, remote pancreatitis, renal failure and hyponatremia dehydration, cardiovascular disease, and intoxication by ethyl alcohol -- all consistent with chronic alcohol use. The medical examiner found that he had a blood alcohol content of 0.28%.

That’s a lot of alcohol related health issues for a 38 year old with no alcohol related issues in his career.

RIP to my Uncle. Had a brain aneurysm and did not recover. I'm not sure but someone mentioned that he may have also had covid and pneumonia at the same time, so just a bad end.

Haven't seen him much in recent years since he and my aunt had divorced, but had many great times in the past.

Feel really bad for my aunt and cousins right now.

So sorry twc. That's a real shame.

Re VJax, I think I also saw he was diagnosed with Stage 2 CTE, which probably didn't help.

not a death but I visited my grandma in the nursing home she was just admitted into. She’s…not there at all. She had a stroke a little bit ago (I think it was her fourth?) so maybe her dementia is acute and she could potentially recover but she’s 89 and my brother and I think it’s the last time we’ll ever see her. sucks

I’ve never been to a nursing home that didn’t feel like it was just where you go to rot away.

Dementia is something else. A friend lost her dad to dementia about ten years ago. I didn't know him very well, but I know her mom (his wife, naturally) pretty well. She was the music/choir director at our church, and was very active in anything to do with music. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer's/dementia about four years ago and was forced into early retirement. What's shocking is how different she looks. Her face, posture, and comportment are completely different from say 2017. She carries herself differently because of how dementia works. It's hard to describe.

Yeah. My grandpa passed in 2014, one year short of their 60th anniversary. As much as my grandma loves her family, it’s so obvious how much she loved her husband. She’s wanted to be with him since his passing and I guess this serves as a peaceful way for us to say our goodbyes

We sent my 98-year old great grandmother to a senior rehab hospital to help her put some weight on. She died 3 days later sitting in her wheel chair. They fed her at lunch and when dinner came around they found she had passed and her body had already started to rigor. So she had been sitting, dead, in the cafeteria for at least an hour and possibly several hours.

Mrs Tif's papa is in the early stages of this. It's hard to see someone who was gifted such a sharp and curious mind be absent in their own existence.

Damn. As soon as I saw your post I knew who it was.

I had the privilege of meeting Demo Dick in 2003 in my CG days. He signed my copy of Rogue Warrior and chatted with me for a few minutes. Even in his early 60s, he was a very imposing dude, but super chill. That's a bummer.

I saw him in an interview where he said ST6's live fire budget was greater than the Marine Corps' live fire budget. I don't know if that's true or not, but it's kind of funny to ponder, because at its inception ST6 had fewer than 100 shooters.
