R.I.P., Marquise Hill (1982-2007)

[mtbykr]

The lady was found on a pylon about one block from where he was found. They were both less than 4 blocks from the shore. When you look at that map, the Causeway is about 12 miles to the West, so, no, neither were anywhere near the Causeway.

ok that makes more sense...there first report i heard was that she was found on a pylon of the causway. thanks for clearing it up

Re: SERIOUS NEWS: Marquise Hill missing after jetski accident

We were having such a great offseason and then something like this happens to put it into perspective.

Welcome to the club. Both our teams have something to play for now. I hope the Patriots do well. To a point.

 

[Brady to Brown]

Rest in peace young man.

This is the first time in over 7 years on this site that I have ever read a long thread from beginning to end.

What a truly sad day for Patriot nation,LSU Nation, and also Marquise's family and friends. My heart and prayers go out to all who are suffering and I would like to thank Marquise for his contributions to our team, and his contributions to the world. Everyone touches the life of another in some way, and by all accounts Marquise Hill not only saved the life of another, but was a kind, genrous human being as well.

Godspeed Marquise.

Another Broncos fan here offering his condolences.

God's building himself quite a team, isn't he?

I wish I could think of something deep, or poetic, or just anything at all to adequately express the sadness I feel right now. I just can't, so I won't even try. Maybe in a few days.

RIP Marquise, you were a good man.

First off:

I may have more to say when I've had a chance to digest this, but, for now, I can simply say this: pretty much anytime a parent outlives his/her child, it's a tragedy, and this is no different.

But, to borrow from someone on the thread about Darryl, I think that Hill may already be sacking QBs upstairs.

 

[VJCPatriot]

RIP. He was gone way too soon. My condolensces go out to the Hill family.

He was going to get married

Inell Benn, fiancee of New England Patriots' Marquise Hill, waits on the shore of Lake Pontchartrain as rescue workers search for Hill who was reported missing after a jet ski accident in New Orleans MOnday, May 28, 2007. Hill's body was discovered by searchers about a quarter-mile from where the former LSU star and a female companion were involved in the accident, Capt. Brian Clark of the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Department said.

Marquise, my thoughts are with your family and loved ones. R.I.P., godspeed. . . . . . .

Well I never understood why people were hard on the guy, I mean with a D Line of Seymour, Wilfork & Warren its no easy feat to break into the starting lineup. The mere fact he was a member of a Super Bowl winning team is something he could always be proud of.

The best that can often be said about someone is that I never heard anything about him. I never heard he was a bad teammate or was in trouble or anything like that. He was just a quiet guy who did his job and was a good teammate who didn't make any waves. There are a lot of guys in the NFL who could learn something from him.

RIP Marquise and thanks for being part of the team we all love. I hope you are in a better place than us.
