1 Year Ago Today Sean Taylor Died

[CPortJGibbs89]

I did not see any thread like this yet, I was actually trying to revive the original thread when Sean was shot last year and I actually posted in but I could not find it. I just wanted to say Sean I miss you and wish you were still here. Happy Holidays to all of Extremeskins and to Sean's family, I know it will be hard but our thought and prayers are with you. R.I.P # 21 We Miss You So Much and I Will Never Forget You!:notworthy

[Papabear]

Sean Taylor forever baby!

[Skins4life2311]

Miss you Sean...

[Rdskns2000]

R.I.P. Sean. Send us some mojo to beat the Giants.

[HogNose]

R.I.P Sean, you are truly missed.

R.I.P Sean Taylor #21

I'll never admire another NFL player more

[terpskins10]

RIP Sean.

You touched a hell of a lot of people in your all-too-short life.

[philal0102]

The man. I'll always miss you, you're the best I've ever known.

[Badgerrocks]

Still so very sad. Sean Taylor - a Redskin forever. We miss you.

[d0ublestr0ker0ll]

My favorite player. Ever.

[vicrodjr]

I was with my family in Disney World when the news broke. When the news broke about a NFL player was shot in his home, I thought now what happened to a player. Then the caption displayed ST's name. I became numb. I will never forget that feeling.
R.I.P.!!!

[SkinFaninOKC]

Dear Sean,

Redskins Nation misses you now and will forever. Just look down on the defense and with them well. You are FOREVER a Redskin.

P.S. Tell Bill Teegins I said hi for cryin' out loud.

Thanks
SkinFaninOKC

[TheDoyler23]

God bless Sean, Jackie, Jackie and Pedro. God bless the Redskins family.

[Burgundy&Gold4Ever]

In some ways, it seem like this happened yesterday, and in other ways, it seems that Sean's been gone for so much longer than a year. I don't want to repeat what I've said in other threads, so I'll just say here that you'll never be forgotten, Sean. Of course your family will keep your memories alive through the generations. Redskin fans also will help keep your memory alive -- not just the incredible football player that you were, but the incredible person that you were. RIP, Sean.

[Rdskn4Lyf21]

Thank you Sean for all you represented for us. I hope you are having a great time up there.

[#98QBKiller]

Dear Sean,

RIP buddy. I hope you know how much you meant to Redskins Nation not just as a player but on a human level too.

We will never forget you.

I remember going to sleep hearing that he was showing positive signs and then woke up the next morning only to find out that he passed to a greater place. Football was the last thought in my mind as I just hoped he would live to be the Dad that his daughter and wife needed for years to come, although the man upstairs had other plans for him.

RIP 21 you are missed

[IONTOP]

I remember saying...
"I hope he's not out for the year."
Which turned to
"I hope he can come back and play football"
Then
"I hope he can still walk"
Then
"I hope he can still have enough brain function to interact with his daughter"
Then
"I hope he puts the smackdown in the greatest pro bowl in the history of the world"

I've never forgotten him, when I run into problems in my life, whether it be work or personal...

"I'm nervous that this girl will shoot me down if I go talk to her"
"Screw that, I might not be here tomorrow, I'm not going to have any more 'what ifs'"

It sounds petty but Sean's death has made me a better person... I'd still rather NOT had it happen, but you can't change the past, only live every day like it's your last...

Sean, If you're reading this, just know that you've made at least one person SUCH a better man... I've stopped drinking for 21 days to remember you...

[CandaceM23]

Just and FYI for folks - #21 is painted outside of FedEx Field again. People are welcome to stop by and bring flowers, signs, pictures, etc.


RIP Sean. Rest in Peace.

[TXREDSKINS44]

RIP Sean. God be with family.

[Ingtar]

RIP Sean. God bless you and your family.

[skinsfan834]

R.I.P Sean Taylor. You touched everyone who ever saw you play, and you are missed immensely.

[spjunkies]

I still remember waking up feeling like I was going to throw up when I heard he passed because I went to bed thinking he was going to make it once I heard he squeezed the nurses hand.

In all of the years of me being a Skins fan I never had a "favorite player" until he came along.

R.I.P Sean you are missed.

[Mr. S]

RIP Sean Taylor. I still remember those 2 back to back games fumble recoveries in 2005. Both times I was running around and excited more than anything.

[Never4get#21]

The greatest safety to ever wear the Skins Uniform....most question whether or not you were the best of all time....The Skins faithful know you were!!

[Skinz248]

Thanks for the memories Sean, 21 forever! Everyday I think about how little Jackie will never know how great of a person and football player her father was. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, especially the Taylor family.

[c4man5282]

RIP Sean. Thanks for all the great memories. We miss you.

[Burgundy&Gold4Ever]

Everyday I think about how little Jackie will never know how great of a person and football player her father was.
She will know; her family will make sure of that. I know what you mean, though. I wish she had known it firsthand through her own experiences with her dad.

[Shadskins1980]

ST 21 always and forever! I we love you mane ! I shed tears still for that brotha! R.I.P. my prayers go to all his family!

[wpenn1]

I remember being right here on extremeskins, defending campbell from some of the haters when the story broke. First it was someone was shot at a nfl players home and then i heard it was Sean. Working in the profession I work in I see people get shot every day and they dont even blink. I wonder why Sean had to die.

[dmorefield2]

R.I.P. Sean, God bless you and your family

I hope those thugs rot in jail.

[jaydogg3eb]

Sean-
You were my favorite player. You had that mysterious vibe and tough swag that put fear into the opponent each time you walked onto the field. You played the game like a man. I would do anything to see #21 on the field again. You will forever be missed.

[dreamshatterer]

RIP #21. Forever missed.

[SWFLSkins]

"I was able to watch Sean Taylor come in as this cocky, totally withdrawn person and develop into one of the kindest, most gentle human beings that I’ve ever been around ... He was one of these guys that if you needed something, if you needed a friend, he was a great friend. He was going to be there for you. That’s rare among people in general and it’s rare among guys with his talent. He was very unique.” - Greg Blache


Thanks Greg for those thoughts and thanks B&G for having that in your sig.

God Bless the Taylor family, the Redskins family and may we all be thankful this day-all days for that matter, having Sean Taylor for the short time we did.

God Bless the Taylor family through this difficult time. I lost my mother in January of last year and it has been the hardest thing I have ever gone through. Such a talented young man with a bright future. God Bless the ES community and here's to a safe and happy holiday season!

[STBonecrusher21]

Forever and will always be my hero, and favorite player of all time.

You're the best I've ever seen do it my friend.

Rest easy.

[MustangSteve]

Sean: You made it easy to pick a favorite player, there will never be another like you. God bless you, your family, and all Redskins and fans this Thanksgiving.

[skinsince72]

Rest in peace #21. You hold a special place in our lives and hearts. I will always honor your memory. Keep em straight up there.

[yonisredskins]

You brought your all to every game and played it without fear! You showed us your passion for the game without saying a word. We loved you not because we knew you personally but you spoke to us on the football field.
Thanks for the memories!!!!

You are truely missed!

[ChampSkinsFanatic]

I will never forget Sean Taylor, truly my favorite player ever. R.I.P. Sean and Happy Thanksgiving to everybody at ES.

[redxican21]

Rest in Peace Sean Taylor,

Well I never cried for someone I didnt know personally, Sean was my favorite player ever since he arrived the team, he had such passion for the game that is hard to see in someone, When i heard he was shot i couldn't believe it i was trying to find something about his health every 5 minutes on the internet and I was optimistic when i heard he responded a little, then next morning he was gone, Also I couldnt hold my tears, I have no much friends in mexico than watch or like football but a lot of them called me trying to give me the news about Sean that day, as they knew he was my favorite player and always wearing his jersey on Sundays I still Do and he always be remembered in my heart.

We will never forgive you Sean.

[SonnyRules]

We miss you; RIP ST21.

[COOLeyCatchTds]

Love you Sean, we all wish you were here!

[Taylor21_INT_4_TD]

god bless you sean. i miss you brother.

[SEANTAYLOR21]

Thanks for being my role model Sean. Sometimes it's still hard to accept the fact you're gone. God bless you, your family, and all the Redskins fans for this thanksgiving. Today we really have something to thank about as we celebrate the life of #21. Gone but never forgotten.

Rest in Peace Sean. Keep looking over our 'Skins. Gone but NEVER forgotten.

[pomps]

Sean, you are sorely missed. Rest in peace.

[kobra860]

RIP Sean Taylor. You'll always be my favorite Redskin.

[Cheers, Beers and Mountaineers]

You were an enigma when you first came into the league, but through those initial troubles, you became my favorite player. What you brought onto the field is the epitome of how a football player should play.

Rest in peace Sean, we all miss you.

[HoyaSkins28]

R.I.P. Sean. Its truly an incredible thing that so many people still talk about him so highly today a year after his death. he was one of the best i ever saw play, i still miss him to this day and i didn't even know him personally. happy thanksgiving everyone, god bless.

[Spartacus87]

Truly amazing how much his death impacted all of us. The guy was only on the team a few years, and was so careful to give interviews or let most of the public into his life, but losing him literally felt like losing a friend.

I think a lot of it had to do with us watching him mature and dealing with his growing pains, from his initial rookie recklessness and penalties, to his infamous spitting incident in the Tampa playoff game, to his last season where it seemed everything clicked and he was playing at an All Pro level. Combined with the birth of his daughter and the way teammates and opponents began to talk about him, he really grew up in front of our eyes.

Personally, it would be easier for me to deal with if he had died in some accidental way like a car accident or something, but for his life to end at the hands of other people in such a senseless manner is really the toughest pill to swallow. Just no reason at all for such a thing to occur ever.

Not a day goes by that I don't think of Sean.

RIP #21

Is Sean still here?"

Yes he is. We will never forget you! :logo: Sean Taylor redskin forever.

This should be a good place for it.

I always think about ST when I see something having to do with the Redskins.

Your Skins family misses you. Hope you're still laying the smack down wherever you are!

[LApunkrocker72]

RIP, Sean. You will never be forgotten. I will always remember the big plays you made for the burgundy and gold.

THis was the original thread regarding his death. So very sad. It still lingers to this day. RIP #21.

Rest well, Sean. We love you.

God bless the entire Taylor and Redskin families during what will surely be another tough holiday season.

[umweglzqt]

I remember putting aside my English homework last year as I sat in my dorm, glued to my laptop, watching and praying for a positive update about Sean Taylor. I went to bed, thinking he'd make it, and woke up to the horrible news. I will never forget that feeling - how much an athlete can affect a fan's life. Thank you Sean for what you did for this team, this town, and these fans. No on else could have brought us together like that. One year later, my thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends. God bless.

:helmet: Let's make another playoff run for #21! :helmet:

[Always Remember 21]

We all miss you Sean! Sundays just are not the same without you. Thanks for the memories. You will never be forgotten.

I have been a Skins fan for over 25 years but I never bought a jersey until a couple of years ago when I bought a Sean Taylor jersey. There was just something so special and unique about him. I had to have his jersey! I know I sound like a little kid saying that but I think Sean was a very special individual.

I think about his family often and hope and pray that they are doing well. R.I.P. #21.

[Olky]

We miss you and love you Sean. R.I.P.

[C.Cooley47]

There will never be a better safety than Sean Taylor and his presence is surely missed. He still had many years to go and would go down as one of the greatest players. It's about time he is inducted into the ring of honor and with the giants in town this should pump our redskins up and go out there and win for him. This ceremony will be wonderful and it will fire up the team! :gaintsuck :point2sky:helmet::notworthy

[professor21]

21 Forever!

[skinsfan07]

Rest well, Sean. We love you.

God bless the entire Taylor and Redskin families during what will surely be another tough holiday season.

Amen.

Yeah Jumbo can find out. Good idea, it is totally classless.

[Cheers, Beers and Mountaineers]

It is truly sad to think that this Thanksgiving, the Taylor family sat down to dinner with an empty spot at their table.

[ChillSkinzFan84]

R.I.P Sean...you will always be missed and there will never be another player like you.

[CPortJGibbs89]

Is there any way we can find out who tagged this thread with "really??????? duh", and ban this piece of ****?I did not notice someone did that. I think most people got the idea of my thread, it wasnt to sit here and state the complete obvious, it was just 3:25am and I did not see anyone start a thread about how this is the actual day Sean died, and it was probably within an hour or so when he actually was pronounced dead.

Not that I feel I need to defend myself from this guy but I can understand why someone might make a comment about my thread title, I could have done a little better. But oh well this was all about ST anyways. R.I.P. # 21 I hope we get a W for you this weekend over the Giants. We sure could use you!

[Redskins4ever]

Sean Taylor forever. Sean was certainly a future hall of famer. R.I.P. #21
