Junior Seau Gone But Not Forgotten

Junior Seau Gone But Not Forgotten

Today is the one year anniversary of Junior Seau's death we thought we would take this opportunity to celebrate our pass experience with this mountain of a man, Junior Seau may be gone but not forgotten! Like most of you the news that Junior had taken his own life was shocking no one could have seen that coming. The toll it has taken on his family is inconceivable and was very much unexpected, we can only hope the resource that is being done will prevent this from happening to future NFL Stars and anyone dealing with or has had concussions.
Junior Seau Gone But Not Forgotten!!!

I first meet Junior in Los Angeles for dinner, we were meeting about his interest in looking at opportunities in the entertainment industry. I had become the go to guy in LA for booking athletes on television shows including sitcoms, talk shows and a few movies. Professional athletes would refer their teammates and that's how Junior and I connected. We met at a great spot on Sunset, I'll never forget it because he brought his wife and he ask Drew Breeze to meet him there as well. I've always been a huge NFL fan so the fan in me was pretty excited about sitting there with Breeze and Seau but I actually had more fun talking with his wife who was cracking jokes on Seaus acting ability! We ultimately did book Junior on a show for a cameo appearance which he nailed by the way.

I would often travel to San Diego, first off because its my favorite City in California but I'd also attend a few San Diego Charger games and stop in and see Junior at his Seau's Restaurant after the game, It was a great place. He was always on the move constantly greeting folks and being pulled from all sides but he was so accommodating to everyone. I got to know the people running his Foundation, which was his baby, and all of my Players had or worked with charities so we would all help each others efforts with signed memorabilia or make appearances from time to time. It was like one big family they just happen to be Professional Athlete's and all them admired and respected Junior. Junior Seau gone but not forgotten! The last time I saw Junior was at the Super Bowl in Miami we were part of media day and there he was same guy being pulled by everyone wanting to talk to the future Hall of Famer. It was great to share another cool moment with an old friend, who knew it would be my last!

Many star athletes pass some have taken their own life, this one hit close to home for me and many of us. He was a great guy, funny, gracious, accommodating and giving human being and we'll miss him! Junior Seau is gone but not forgotten!
RIP!
