🔒 Freshman OL Sam Westmoreland has passed away.

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Prayers for his family and teammates.

 

[L4Dawg]

I just got that bulletin on my phone. All it said was the death is under investigation and no further comment at this time. It evidently happened this morning.

[Cantdoitsal]

Holy Hell. Satan still working OT bringing us unbearable pain. May God have mercy on his family's troubled hearts.

 

[DawgInThe256]

Horrible news. Gotta be really tough on Coach Leach after the Tyler Hilinski death a few years ago at WSU.

 

[Rupert Jenkins]

Sad. So young. Death is part of life but it needs to be a way later part.

 

[Mobile Bay]

I don't know why. Probably because I had a tough time up until that age dealing with all the teenage ********. But something about somebody passing at this age makes me even sadder than an older adult, or a little kid, or a baby.

Yep, I remember being bumbed out about Koby's copter crash but then I started thinking how much worse it was that his daughter was aboard.

Prayers for his family and his Bulldog family!

This doesn't make it sound good

 

[aTotal360]

Prayers up for all.

Found at 11AM this morning at Blackjack Missionary Baptist Church. No foul play suspected

 

[Dawg1976]

That is so sad. Prayers for his family.

Hmm. As far as I know, it always comes at the end.

 

[WilCoDawg]

Hmm. As far as I know, it always comes at the end.

 

[Emma’s Dad]

Sad for any and every reason when a young life is lost. We grieve with his family who love him and will miss him for the rest of their time. I love Will Rogers’ expression of love for his friend and teammate.

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

Terrible news. Loss of life is never easy and it makes it very hard when it is young life.

 

[ronpolk]

Hmm. As far as I know, it always comes at the end.

Probably not the best thread to try and be smart ***

 

[dog12]

No details concerning his death?

How/why did he die?

 

[Hugh's Burner Phone]

No details concerning his death?

How/why did he die?

Nothing official has been stated, but looking at the circumstantial evidence it appears to be suicide. Will Rogers tweeting it's ok to not be ok. Paul Jones tweeting we don't always know the depths of someone's depression. A statement that he was found at a church down Blackjack Rd but that foul play was not suspected. End of the day he's gone and my heart breaks for his family regardless of cause. I just pray that somehow, someday, they are able to find a measure of peace in all this.

 

[macdaddydawg]

Man this hits hard. My son is a 19 year old student. I pray that God's Grace floods this family with love and support. I can't imagine their pain.

 

[thatsbaseball]

I am so sorry for his family. I know no more about this than what I've read but I do know mental anguish is very real and very relentless. May he rest in peace.

Right. That makes sense.

I'm close with some folks that knew this kid. To say it is a shock would be an absolute understatement.

Just terrible.

Welp, I've never been banned from an internet message board before, but y'all have shown me the error of my ways.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you who cannot tolerate a small attempt at levity in a thread about a death. Until you all learn to find humor in the absurdity of life and tragedy, you are doomed to live a miserable existence.

What was my crime? I poked fun at Rupert Jenkins inartful attempt to state the obvious: that the death of young people hits us harder than the death of older folks.

That's it. I didn't insult anyone, make light of the death in question, or break any board rules. Some of you chose to post a red faced emoji which is fine, although it says more about you than me.. 2 others were so incensed that you decided to detract from the subject of the thread to instruct me on how I should respond.

Guys, this is a mostly anonymous sports message board. When you start thinking you have the right to tell people how they should feel and express those feelings, its time to put down the keyboard, go outside, and get some fresh air. But put on a sweater first, it's cold out

Y"all may now resume making Westmoreland's death all about yourselves

Yes, you did "poke fun", at a most inopportune time, w/in hours of his body being found, let it soak in. I think its a good idea that you have there, "its time to put down the keyboard, go outside, and get some fresh air" and hope you stay awhile.

ow I should respond.

Not the way you did. Terrible bedside manner. Show some respect. Even to the ones that did not know him. The great thing about cheering for a college team is you have a community in which we all identify. In a sense, we are a Bulldog family, and right now, that family is hurting. I have seen more class in Ole Miss fans. That's saying a lot.

[Lucifer Morningstar]

Speaking out of character of my persona on here I hope his family is prayed for and supported. Also it is amazing to me, a guy who plays the devil on here, that there would be a argument in this thread. Can’t we all just say this is awful news and stop the trying to be funny or cute when one of our guys is gone? As a new father to a seven month old, first child, I can not imagine the pain his family is going through. Sorry to step out of character for a second there but that was on my heart.

Man, it seems pretty basic to me…maybe limit the joking in a thread about a teenager’s death? Levity is important, but so are manners and discretion. Just my opinion, though.

A little common sense is all it takes. Read the room.

We are winning this weekend for Westmoreland. #webelieve 6-2

 

[Connor Mead1]

You really don't know what someone else is going through. Just really sad to think about how much pain he must have been in, and now the pain his family is in. Prayers for comfort and peace.
