It is with a heavy heart and broken soul that i tell you that my nephew, JayB - Justin Barbier - passed away this morning. Many of you here walked with him through his journey through two bone marrow transplants and the resulting complications. This morning at 1:30 AM, complications from Pneumonia were just too much for him. Please, keep his mom, my sister, Julie in your prayers along with the rest of our family. Please, PLEASE consider becoming a marrow donor in his honor: Join the Registry - Be The Match Bone Marrow Registry A braver soul i've yet to encounter. A greater man i'll never meet. Joel
Joel, I am so very very sorry. My heart is breaking for Julie and Brittany. If there is anything I can do, please let me know. And when you see Julie and Brittany, please give them a hug for me and tell them I love them.
Damn, I really enjoyed his posts and his passion for LSU football. This is very sobering news. I am not a religious guy but I hope the family can find comfort. Is there some sort of relief fund for the family?
Probably the saddest post I've read in my almost 9 years here. After following his journey to Minnesota years back to his eventual return to Looziana, I feel like I knew him better than almost any other board member. Prayers go out to his family and friends. I will always remember his passion for all things :lsup: You'll be missed JayB.
Very sad. His passion for LSU Baseball was greater than anyone I have seen. I wish I knew him on another level like some here. My prayers are with the family.
Honestly as soon as I finished this post I looked up at my TV at ESPN News and they were playing the NCAA Football 12 commercial with the :lsup: body paint dudes on it, first time I've seen it. Eerie, I'm tellin' ya.
I agree with you, and I would be willing to bet that him and Wally are already talking about LSU baseball. I will miss his posts most then.
