Like most, I was first introduced to Cameron Luke “Fluffopotamus” Ratliff through Twitter. I stumbled across this funny kid that I could tell loved Alabama just by his posts. Shortly after, he showed up at our tailgate and a grand friendship was born. Luke passed away at 23 years old on Friday night at Druid City Hospital in Tuscaloosa, around 10:30 pm after a short illness. I’m old, so I've been around a good deal of death in my lifetime. Whenever it involves a young person it just hits different, especially one who was so full of life, so joyous, so kind, and so damn funny.
