He was one of my high school football coaches. A great man always stressed day in and day out to DO YOUR JOB. This man died doing his job, as he was also a school security guard, giving his life for the safety of the students

A coach and an alum of the school. Maybe they can dedicate their field/stadium to his memory.

♥️

Edit: Thank you kindly for the upvotes. My father was the first principal at Stoneman Douglas (he literally and figuratively built the school from the ground up) and knows the current principal. I am going to ask my dad to pass along the idea of naming the field(s).

The athletic director was killed, too, and the baseball team won a state title under his tenure. (I believe his name was Hixon.) He was an Iraq War veteran. So that might be another field worth naming.

As an aside, my dad is absolutely distraught by what happened. It’s been a long time since he left the school, but he had a very special connection having been the first principal. It’s been hard on our entire family because we were there to experience that time with him, too.

Lots of love to the whole Douglas family. We are grieving with you, too.
