Condolences to all of you Ute fans as well as the Herrion
Family on the passing of Thomas Herrion last night. Herrion was a hell of a player and always carried himself well on and off the field from what I have seen/read. This is a tough loss for all those involved.

This article is a really good read and puts in context the type of man that Thomas Herrion was. His time on earth was far too short.

Thanks my friend...
Thomas was, indeed, a good man. After Fanfest '03, despite the fact that it was very hot and he was noticebly tired and 30 minutes late for the team BBQ, he spent about 10 minutes talking to my oldest son about anything Sky wanted to talk about.
He was the epitome of class.

Herrion was everything people say he was. The guy was an example for us all on how to live life. His priorities were: God, family, work.
