So I'm just gonna go do it now if we start to look at sort of a broader movement through life and continuing to try and move forward and move on . You know , uh my buddy Seth died and he was the Delta platoon commander in tasking a bruiser and he , he died in 2017 and it was in a parachute accident and it was , it was , I mean , it's definitely unexpected . Um And , and also he'd already been through multiple deployments , um , was with , with us , with me in the battle of Ramadi .
And um , so when he died , you know , we're uh we're at his , we're at his , it's not his funeral , it's before the funeral . It's like the um , the open casket thing , the wake thing and myself , his brother Alex , um Le Fab and who I wrote Extreme ownership with and JP Dannell , who's one of my brothers who , who works with us at Echelon Front now is with us in Ramadi and was very close to Seth and , and we're like , everyone kind of cleared out for us . And um , we , we go in there and I think JP gave him JP had one of those memorial bracelets with guys names on it that had died and JP uh gave that to him and I think Leif gave him some surf wax because also Seth was a , was a surfer .
And um , we , we go in there and I think JP gave him JP had one of those memorial bracelets with guys names on it that had died and JP uh gave that to him and I think Leif gave him some surf wax because also Seth was a , was a surfer . And um , and I gave Seth his black belt because he started training jiu jitsu with me and he had , he had his purple belt , he'd gotten his purple belt . I gave him his black belt and um , and everyone was just quiet and you know , J JP was telling the story the other day .
It's like the um , the open casket thing , the wake thing and myself , his brother Alex , um Le Fab and who I wrote Extreme ownership with and JP Dannell , who's one of my brothers who , who works with us at Echelon Front now is with us in Ramadi and was very close to Seth and , and we're like , everyone kind of cleared out for us . And um , we , we go in there and I think JP gave him JP had one of those memorial bracelets with guys names on it that had died and JP uh gave that to him and I think Leif gave him some surf wax because also Seth was a , was a surfer . And um , and I gave Seth his black belt because he started training jiu jitsu with me and he had , he had his purple belt , he'd gotten his purple belt .
And he's a guy that , you know , was really just kind of , you're , you're , you're not gonna be able to replace any , a , any , you , you can't , there's a uniqueness to him that is , you're not gonna find . And , you know , I've got some stuff that he wrote . He was an incredible writer and I'll like , try and write something like him .
