Prayers for his family and all those in attendance. May GOD help ease their pain.

I am sorry to hear about the skydiver losing his life attempting to pump up the fans at the game.

On a funny note, Davy Crocket vs Daniel Boone sounds like a knife fight instead of a football game.

Really? The post is about someone who died and you somehow make it a joke---you need help bud

He graduated from Elizabethton HS in 1985. He was in my class. I played football with him. He loved sky diving.
God speed Richard Sheffield.
