Remembering Junior Seau's Infectious Attitude

Junior Seau was loved by so many. Being a home-grown talent of San Diego, Chargers fans quickly embraced him. His joy and passion for the game quickly infiltrated the league. Fans around the world enjoyed watching him go all out. Tragically, Seau was found dead at the age of 43 in his Oceanside home. The police are investigating his death from the standpoint of a suicide.

Seau quickly became a San Diego legend. The linebacker was a 12-time Pro Bowler, named a member of the NFL's 1990s All-Decade team, and a member of the Chargers' only Super Bowl team in 1994. Seau is almost certainly a lock for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, where he will become eligible in three years. His actions both on and off the field displayed a love for people.

Seau inspired so very many. While his sudden death is very, very sad, it is important to remember who he was as a person. He was a happy man, who loved what he did. I believe Seau would want us to mourn his death, but he would want to focus more on remembering who he was before this happened. I think that is the least we can do, especially after all he did for those around him. Junior Seau will always be remembered as one of the all-time greats.
