I'm pretty certain I'm not unique in wanting my life to have purpose, wanting to create a legacy of sorts ... creating something that outlives your time on earth.
Well that's what I thought about when reading the many tributes to Stuart Scott over the past 24 hours. He will be remembered as someone who broke barriers, created a new type of sports broadcasting, and someone who was a positive influence and inspiration for so many others. He was a family man. Truly a legacy.
I'm not going to attach all the tributes to this blog but a simple Google search will result in countless video accounts of how much Stuart meant to his family, his colleagues and to his profession. My favorite is the NFL today staff speaking about Stuart, specifically the comments from Chris Carter and Keshon Johnson about how he inspired and instilled confidence in them as African American broadcasters. Touching and impactful.
Boo-Ya Stuart! You blazed a trail for others to follow and lived your life in a way that I aspire to live mine.
RIP Stuart Scott
1965 - 2015
