Thank you to our Gator neighbors to post about this. Beyond the rivalry and smack talk, we are all just fellow human beings.

Semp's passing has brought comments from Noles, Gators, Canes, Irish, and a slew of fans of other teams. I shows how much he meant to us all.

He will be missed. God Bless Semp, his family & friends, and all those he knew from message boards and tailgates.

Thank you God, for having him be even a small part of my life.

And, thank you Gators for the very nice tribute. God Bless.

Very well put, I second that

You don't really get to know most people on a message board , but Semper made a habit of reaching out to posters he liked and he established phone/email relationships with many of us. Many of us even had the pleasure of meeting him in real life as well.

Semper was a good friend, he was there for you when you had a problem or needed some positive words.

I can assure you anybody he "gave a hard time to" here, he would've bought a beer for in real life. He didn't take the rivarly thing seriously, he didn't "hate" rival fans, but he sure enjoyed pretending he did. He loved JD, Swami, Homer, etc and gave them tons of grief(and likewise). He really enjoyed Rivals(warchant/GB) because he loved people, and it gave him access to a lot of new people. Seeing threads on Canesport and Gatorbait(and on multiple different warchant boards), and how many rival posters and posters in general cared about him, shows what kind of guy he was

Semper will be missed by many. Hopefully one day we will have another beer together in a better place

Sad day for Seminole Nation. Semper touched many lives and will be missed by many.Prayers out to him and his family. Rest In Peace.

Live A Life That Matters Ready or not, someday it will all come to an end. There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours, or days. All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else. Your wealth, fame, and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance. It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed. Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, and jealousies will finally disappear. So, too, your hopes, ambitions, plans, and to-do lists will expire. The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away. It won't matter where you came from, or on what side of the tracks you lived, at the end. It won't matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant Even your gender and skin color will be irrelevant. So what will matter? How will the value of your days be measured? What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built; not what you got, but what you gave. What will matter is not your success, but your significance. What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught. What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage or sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example. What will matter is not your competence, but your character. What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss when you're gone. What will matter is not your memories, but the memories that live in those who loved you. What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what. Living a life that matters doesn't happen by accident. It's not a matter of circumstance but of choice. Choose to live a life that matters

Did you know that when you give to others in need, the Bible says it’s like giving directly to God Himself? When you step out and bless other people, you are honoring and blessing the Lord. The scripture tells us to give our best, to give generously. In other words, stretch yourself. Go out of your way. I encourage you today, look for ways to give generously and meet the needs of others. Remember, people have many different types of needs. There may be someone who needs some encouragement. Give generously when you give that encouragement. There may be someone in your life who just needs a friend. They need some quality time. Give generously of your time and pour into that person. As you give generously to others, God will multiply the seeds you’ve sown, and you’ll live in blessing all the days of your life. There are people who God brings into our lives that hold the key to our promotion. They hold the key to us reaching our full potential. But these people are not here to help us or to give us breaks or open new doors; these are people that God places in our path so we can help them, and show them favor. They are divinely connected to our destiny. We won’t go higher until we help them go higher. You have to step out and sow a seed into those people. The higher they rise, the higher you will rise. If you will help others fulfill their dreams God will help you fulfill your dreams. Make the effort to develop a habit of “pushing people up.” When you take time to invest in someone else it doesn’t go unnoticed. Every minute you encourage that friend, every mile you go out of your way to do a good deed, every penny you spend to make someone else better, know that God sees it. He’s not only going to pay you back, He’s going to multiply what you’ve sown. When you push people up, the blessings are going to come down! You’re going to get breaks, see His favor, and new doors are going to open to you. As you live your life as a giver, and look for ways to help others, you’re going to see your dreams and desires come to pass. God will fulfill His promises to you and you’ll live the abundant life He has prepared for you

There's a storm rolling into Auburn...I'm going to sit out and watch it and remember the good banter we all had with him... I'm glad E-Dub is finally here. Posted on 8/11 9:33 PM | IP: Logged
