I got the honor to know Jasper Branning when he stepped on the football field with me in 2023. He helped me everyday from daily practice to weekly football games. He could run a football out to the middle of that field faster than anyone I’ve ever seen. He was funny, kind, and a one of a kind human being. He is very dearly missed. 🪽
