Evansville Flag Group and Otters to raise money for Marvin Gray tribute
Marvin was a regular fixture at Otters and Triplets games for over 50 years, raising the flag before Otters games and manually operating the scoreboard at Bosse Field. In honor of his legacy as a lifelong Evansville Sports fan, the Evansville Flag Group has started a GoFundMe to raise money for a lasting tribute to Marvin nearly a decade since his passing.
The Evansville Otters will wear city flag jerseys on June 14, Flag Day, in his honor and to raise awareness of the GoFundMe campaign for his memorial. After the game, fans will be able to see a fireworks display in celebration of Marvin's life.
An auction will be held for fans to bid on the jerseys won by the Otters during the Flag Day game. Officials say proceeds from the auction will go towards supporting Otter's baseball, which was a cause Marvin championed during his lifetime.

Remembering a Washington legend
Hey, Commanders fans, do you recall Zema Williams? Or perhaps you might remember him better if I were to refer to him as "Chief Zee?" Yes, that Chief Zee! For those unfamiliar with this part of Redskins history, Williams passed away on July 19, 2016, nine years ago today. Williams, better known as "Chief Zee," is reported to have begun attending Washington Redskins games during the 1978 season. By the way, that season was one of the most disappointing for me while growing up in northern Virginia. You see, the Redskins started that season 6-0, only to finish the season with a record of 8-8. One of the primary reasons that occurred was that Joe Theismann was injured and attempted to play through it, but his performance was severely hindered. Back to Chief Zee. He would appear at home games wearing a full feathered headdress and a Native American costume, complete with a toy tomahawk. Local news media in print and television broadcast stories on him, and pretty soon, the entire DMV fan base loved Chief Zee. Some may even recall how he became friends with his Dallas Cowboys counterpoint, Wilford 'Crazy Ray' Jones. The two teams would visit each other's stadiums and get together to put on a show for the fans of both teams. Crazy Ray in his Cowboys attire and Chief Zee wearing his Redskins attire. Chief Zee would become such friends with Jones that Chief Zee determined to skip a Redskins home game in 2007. Redskins fans learned after the fact that Chief Zee felt it would be a higher priority for him to attend the funeral of 'Crazy Ray' and honor his friend. It was only the second game he had missed since the 1981 season, when his own father had died. When watching one of those NFL Films productions of the Washington Redskins 1982 season, you will see Chief Zee all the way out in Pasadena to cheer on his favorite team at Super Bowl XVII in a 27-17 win over the Miami Dolphins, and in his own Redskins uniform, of course. Some may recall Chief Zee riding around FedEx Field on his moped in his later years. At that point, Chief Zee had suffered one of his big toes being amputated. But still wanting to attend the games, cheer on the team, and interact with fans, the Redskins helped and purchased the moped for him. When things got tough for Williams and he was only living off his Social Security, some fans united together via a GoFundMe campaign, paying both back rent and some future rent as well. reported on July 20, 2016, that Williams had died the previous night in his sleep and that he had been suffering from bad health for his last months.

Bryan Braman spent his final moments with his daughters before dying of cancer
Bryan Braman was surrounded by those he loved most in the weeks leading up to his death. The 38-year-old former NFL player, who won his first and only Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2018, died on Thursday, July 17, due to 'a rare, aggressive form of cancer,' according to ESPN. Braman's agent, Sean Stellato, confirmed his death in a phone interview with KPRC 2. 'I got the horrible news early in the morning after one of his best friends reached out and said that he took his last breath while surrounded by friends and family,' Stellato told the news outlet. He went on to describe Braman as 'unselfish' and 'generous,' even when he didn't need to be. 'Bryan, people saw this enormous human being, but his heart was big as his body. His spirit was so motivating. He was so real and genuine with everybody. That made him special,' he added, per KPRC 2. In an interview with People, updated July 18, Stellato spoke of how much Braman loved being a father. 'He loved his two girls so, so much. They were everything, his legacy,' he said of the football star's daughters, who 'spent the last two weeks with him when he was dying.' Braman was a proud girl dad to Blakely, 11, and Marlowe, 8, according to The Guardian. Braman was signed by the Houston Texans as an undrafted free agent in 2011 and quickly became a fan favorite for his play on special teams, which had him pegged as a Pro Bowl alternate in 2012, per CNN. He signed with the Eagles in 2014 and again in 2017, spending a total of four years with the team, according to Pro Football Reference. In 2018, after beating the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII, Braman enjoyed a special moment with his agent as they celebrated the win on the field. 'Him and I cried in each other's arms when he won Super Bowl LII on the field. And I was holding his daughter in a photo, which was really cool,' Stellato told People. He further described Braman as a 'gentle giant,' despite his 6'6'', 250-pound frame. 'He'd be the first one to hold the door for someone, to give a few dollars to someone that was homeless, because he was homeless in his earlier days,' says Stellato. Braman reportedly sold his vehicle to help pay for treatment According to The Associated Press, Braman was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year. A GoFundMe page, created in February in honor of Braman, confirmed that the Spokane, Washington, native 'is currently fighting a life-threatening cancer that requires an extensive 12-week treatment program.' 'He is required to have a 24-hour caregiver,' the GoFundMe description read. 'He has no home currently as he has had to pay our of pocket for much of his treatment, and even sold his last vehicle to raise the money for the motel fir this week,' the description continued. In an update on June 20, the organizer of the GoFundMe confirmed that Braman was home with his family after 'undergoing a Car-t cell reprogramming treatment program,' per the page. The football star underwent multiple surgeries, but the cancer continued to fight back. 'They have tried all of the various treatment options, and unfortunately, none of them are working against this cancer,' the update continued. 'But Bryan has not given up.' Several teammates and NFL players have donated to the cause, including J.J. Watt, Rasul Douglas, Chris Long, Quandre Diggs, Duane Brown, Brent Celek, Chris Ballard and Brian Cushing. Braman finished his NFL career with 56 tackles, 1.5 sacks and two fumble recoveries in 97 games played over seven seasons. His last game — the Super Bowl win — turned out to be the biggest of his career.

Rushing to save swimmers, a former baseball player and police officer loses his life
PAWLEYS ISLAND, S.C. (AP) — Chase Childers, a former minor league baseball player and ex-police officer, has died after rushing into the ocean to save swimmers in a rip current, according to police in South Carolina and a GoFundMe page for his family. Trying to help a family of five, Childers paid 'the highest sacrifice with his life in front of his three children and wife,' according to the fundraiser. Childers died Sunday, the police department for Pawleys Island, which is south of Myrtle Beach, stated in a post on X. Police said he and another person 'entered the water to help 4 - 5 individuals who were in distress. Sadly, Mr. Childers was caught in the rip current, as well. He died trying to save others.' When the family and the other man came back to shore, police, firefighters and the Coast Guard searched for Childers, WCBD-TV in Charleston reported. His body was recovered about 90 minutes later. WCBD-TV reported that Childers, 38, lived in Dallas with his family, but they were vacationing on Pawleys Island. The island's police chief, Michael Fanning, said he believes Childers' 'first responder instincts kicked in' when he saw the family in distress. A rip current is a fast-moving column of water that flows away from the shore toward open water. Officials say swimmers caught in one should remain calm and then swim parallel to the shore to escape the current. Childers grew up in Georgia's Cobb County, which is northeast of Atlanta, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. Childers helped lead the North Cobb Christian School to a state baseball championship in 2003 and continued his baseball career at Georgia State University. Childers signed with the Baltimore Orioles in 2009 and played two seasons in the minor leagues for teams in Florida and West Virginia, according to Childers served as a police officer in Cobb County from 2011 to 2014, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. WCBD-TV reported that he received the Cobb County Police Department Life Saving award in 2012, while the GoFundMe page said he had saved several lives. 'Most importantly, he was a loving son, a dedicated brother, a treasured friend, an exceptional father to his three wonderful children, and the husband of his beautiful wife, Nataley, who had been his soulmate and best friend since they were teenagers,' the GoFundMe page stated.
