Prayers up for Tray Walker

[Sunday QB]

Our Thoughts and Prayers are with the Walker family and Ravens Nation. R.I.P. Tray Walker.

[kmspears65]

Such a loss to lose someone so young with his whole life ahead of him.  Thoughts and prayers for his family during this tragic time.

[AsianRice]

just wishing him to fight through it few hrs ago; when I got home from work, turn on my computer with my Ravens homepage and see Walker pronounced dead. That's hurt as a father, a human being, and a fan.  That is a very disturbing and devastating news to his parents and to any parent. 

RIP

As a falcons fan I wanted to show my support on your board for tray walker. Such a tragedy. My thoughts and prayers to the walker family and to ravens nation. This is such a sad thing as i live in florida and being that this happened in miami, i hear about a new death every day due to accidents on the road. Drive safe where ever you go and always be cautious. God bless.

Thanks for your expression of sympathy, it is appreciated.  Football is more than a game it is a family.

Today, there are no rivalries. Today we're not Ravens fans, Steelers fans, or any other group you want to assign to yourself.

Today, we all grieve for the loss of a friend, a teammate, a brother, a son. Tomorrow we can resume petty squabbling, but today none of that matters, for today, a great man was taken from us far too early.

RIP Tray Walker. May God have mercy upon your soul. I was looking forward to seeing you play this year but God have other plan for you. One Love.

I'm seeing a lot of classy tweets from around the NFL, Browns, Bengals, and Coach Tomlin among them.

[DefensiveMind]

Cant believe it. As a football talent I always had great hope for Tray and thought he would do well for the Ravens down the line. As a person, never heard anything bad about him. He was the same age as me and makes you really think about all the blessings you have in your life. Prayers go out to his family. He will always be a raven and part of ravens nation. Gone way too soon.

I think we should wear a patch on the jerseys this season to remember him and pay our respects. Or just a #25 sticker on the helmet or something. RIP Tray

[ravensdfan]

As saddened as this makes me, having never met the young man, I just can't even imagine what his teammates, family & friends are feeling right now.

 

My heart goes out to them all.

I agree with this - keep the 25 jersey vacated for this season at least and have a patch on the jersey or something like that.

Horrible.  Not a religious person in the slightest (due to these very situations), but hope the family can somehow find peace in all of this.  So sad to hear! 

[K-Dog]

Never met the guy.  Don't know him from Adam.  Still heart broken.   Still feel sorrow for his Mother and the rest of his family and his friends.  I hope his family sees the out pouring of love and support they are getting here and all over the internet.  

I personally appreciate the fans of other teams stopping by here to pay their respects.  Thank you all.

Tray will be remembered this season.  That is the kind of organisation this is.  Tray will be remembered and his family will be loved and cared for.  If you have any doubts, just read John Harbaughs letter to the team prior to trays passing. 

Love and prayers to all those who are hurting for the loss of Tray Walker.

[ALSKAN RAVEN FAN]

Just a sad day. So young and talented. God bless you and your family Tray Walker.

Reading through the welcome to baltimore tray walker thread just tears me up

[Ravenseconbeast]

Just complete class from Ravens fans and the organization.  

RIP Tray Walker.

Thoughts for his family and our thoughtful Ravens family. So sad, he seemed like a great guy. Just gotta live and enjoy life every day.

[BOLDnPurPnBlacK]

This is hard... He was only with us for a year but I can't help feeling like I lost a friend. 

Tray - I hope you see how many lives you've impacted and the overwhelming loss we're all feeling right now. 

May the love from our heavy hearts shower you with eternal happiness.

rest easy... Ravens Nation will make sure that your family and friends don't shoulder this burden alone.  

Devastated.

I remember when people googled him the only thing that came up in images was the walker with a tray for mobility purposes. 

[JustinB]

Seeing so many fans of different teams praying for Tray and his family and showing respect has provided something better than any victory.  Rest in Peace Tray you will always be remembered.

Was thinking the same thing. I believe it was either you or Inqui that posted that? It was funny at the time.

 

I remember making a comment after preseason game 2 or 3 about how he wasn't as much of a project as he appeared. Was extremely excited about his potential especially since our FO thought he was good enough to select in the 4th when he was projected in the 6th or 7th. 

[sflegend89]

RIP Tray, I still can't believe it, young kid still had so much left to give this world far beyond the football field, gone but never forgotten, will always live on in the hearts of those who loved him and in all of RavenNation who will continue to honor and celebrate his life.

[bravensfan52]

So many words. So young. With promise and talent. Just to show that it can end anytime. Live your live the best you can. 

[PurpleCity5]

My goodness. This is truly tragic news. My prayers and condolences go to his family. Its just unfortunate to see someone pass at such a young age. Rest in Peace Tray. 

[Supychou]

I agree about the sticker with #25 or anything.
It is a must to do, and I think our team will do it.

So shocked and hurt.
I wish I could something but I don't know what. It won't bring him back if I buy a jersey with his name, or something like that, but I feel like it would be a nice reminder of him, as a Ravens fan.

Tray was a young man who did his best to support himself and his family after his father passed, and between all that he was still able to make himself a known supporter of autism awareness. Although his journey on earth is over his memory will not be forgotten as quickly; this is truly a loss of a good man.

 

Thats beautiful.
Is that your work ?

[cursona pirate]

I was also thinking the Ravens should do something for him. Like on the uniforms. 

I thought about retiring 25 maybe idk
