On July 9th, 2015 8:09 p.m., we reported on perhaps one of the saddest things this site will ever publish -- Alabama legend Kenny Stabler had passed away at his home in Gulfport, Mississippi.
He passed peacefully surrounded by the people he loved most, including his three daughters and longtime partner, as some of his favorite songs played in the background, such as Lynyrd Skynyrd’s "Sweet Home Alabama" and Van Morrison’s "Leaves Falling Down."
Over the next few days we would commemorate the kind of man he was and what he meant culturally to Alabama, Crimson Tide fans, and the laid-back/hard-charging Gulf coast that he loved so much:
Stabler did well by doing good.
