We are deeply saddened to share the news of the passing of Bobby Jenks, former Major League pitcher and beloved member of the Chicago White Sox’s 2005 World Series Championship team. Jenks passed away on July 4, 2025, in Sintra, Portugal, at the age of 44, following a courageous battle with adenocarcinoma, a form of stomach cancer.

Bobby Jenks made his Major League debut with the White Sox in 2005 and quickly became a key figure in one of the most memorable seasons in franchise history. Known for his power pitching and unwavering poise on the mound, Jenks recorded the final out of the 2005 World Series, sealing a four-game sweep of the Houston Astros and delivering the White Sox their first title since 1917. It was a defining moment not only for Jenks but for generations of fans who had waited decades to see their team reach the pinnacle of baseball.

During his six seasons in Chicago, Jenks amassed 173 saves, including back-to-back 40+ save seasons in 2006 and 2007—securing his place among the game’s elite closers. His dominance earned him two American League All-Star selections, and his intimidating presence on the mound became a hallmark of the White Sox bullpen during that era.

In 2011, Jenks joined the Boston Red Sox, continuing to share his experience and grit with a new clubhouse. Though injuries shortened his career, his impact on the game and the fans never wavered.

Beyond his statistics, Jenks was known for his resilience, his candor about the challenges he faced both on and off the field, and his fierce loyalty to his teammates and family. In recent years, he had spoken publicly about his health struggles, showing the same determination that defined his playing days.

The White Sox organization, Red Sox community, and fans across baseball mourn the loss of a true competitor and champion. Bobby Jenks leaves behind a lasting legacy—a towering presence who lived and played with heart.

Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and all who were touched by his remarkable journey.

Rest in peace, Bobby Jenks. 1981–2025.

We are heartbroken to share that Jeff Ramsey, a beloved member of the Flower Mound and Adaptive Training Foundation (ATF) communities, was tragically lost in the devastating flash floods in Kerrville, Texas. His wife, Tanya Ramsey, remains missing, and rescue efforts continue with hope and prayer. Their cherished family dog has been found alive, offering a small glimmer of light during this unimaginable time.

Jeff was more than a friend—he was a beacon of selflessness, strength, and heart. To those who knew him through ATF, he wasn’t just a supporter—he was family. His passion for helping others, his unwavering commitment to service, and the joy he brought to every room made him someone we all looked up to. As someone recently said, “his heart, his light, and servant’s soul is the type of thing you’d read about in a textbook.” The difference? Jeff lived it.

Whether it was a heartfelt hug, that unforgettable smile, or a lighthearted joke—like naming a Bluetooth speaker “RamJam” in his honor—Jeff left an indelible mark on everyone he met. And he did it humbly, without fanfare, just by being authentically Jeff.

To say we are crushed is an understatement. This loss runs deep across his family, his friends, and especially within our Adaptive Training Foundation family, where Jeff poured so much of himself into lifting others up—often when they needed it most.

As we mourn, we also lift up prayers for Tanya, still missing, and for her safe return. Our hearts go out to the entire Ramsey family as they navigate the unimaginable.

Rest in peace, Jeff. You lived boldly, served selflessly, and loved deeply. Till Valhalla, Ram Jam.
Fair winds and following seas, legend.

Please continue to keep the Ramsey family, Tanya, and the ATF community in your thoughts and prayers.

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Nestor Karim Delgado Jr., 28, of Jacksonville, Illinois, who died on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, at the University of Chicago Medical Center during a procedure related to his lifelong congenital heart disease.

Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on September 5, 1996, Nestor was the beloved son of Nestor K. Delgado and Myrtle Ann Hoover Delgado. He was married to Megan Ryan, whom he wed on August 31, 2024, in a beautiful ceremony in Cancun, Mexico.

Nestor is survived by his devoted wife, Megan Delgado, of Jacksonville; his father, Nestor K. Delgado, of Pascagoula, MS; and his mother, Myrtle (Bruce Darby) Delgado, of Bay St. Louis, MS. He also leaves behind his siblings, Anna Margaret Delgado and Augustine (Gus) Quintin Delgado; stepbrothers Bradley (Portia) Darby and Dylan Darby; maternal grandmother Margaret Ann Hoover; paternal grandmother Sylvia Delgado; and in-laws Mark (Sherry) Ryan, Dennis (Kayelyn) Ryan, along with numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and cherished friends.

He was preceded in death by his infant son, Nestor Karim Delgado III, his maternal grandfather, Dr. Jack C. Hoover, and his paternal grandfather, Dr. Nestor F. Delgado.

A proud graduate of Resurrection Catholic High School (2015), University of Mississippi (2018), and the University of Mississippi School of Law (2021), Nestor pursued a meaningful career in public service. He served as a Legislative Liaison for the Illinois Office of the Attorney General and most recently worked as a Cybersecurity Policy Advisor at the Illinois Commerce Commission. Passionate about advocacy, Nestor also served as Chair of the Illinois chapter of the American Heart Association, a cause deeply personal to him.

Nestor lived with an unmatched zest for life. He loved his family and friends, his two dogs Nola and Madge, and shared an amusing affection for Floof, the cat he lovingly tolerated. He was a passionate debater, a gifted woodworker, a political enthusiast, and a lover of Marvel movies, good food, and sports—especially the New Orleans Saints and St. Louis City SC.

A world traveler and lifelong learner, Nestor found joy in new cultures and meaningful connections—from China with his father and grandfather, to Europe through his University of Cambridge study abroad program, and his unforgettable wedding in Mexico. Though his roots were firmly planted in the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Nestor made the Midwest his home, where he was warmly embraced by friends, colleagues, and the community.

To know Nestor was to be inspired by his intelligence, selflessness, humor, and genuine kindness. He was a fierce advocate for those in need—a voice for the voiceless—and his impact extended well beyond his years.

In honor of Nestor’s enduring legacy, his family invites you to “pay it forward” in his memory: show kindness, speak with purpose, and live with heart.

A visitation will be held from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, July 12, 2025, at Daws Family Funeral Home in Jacksonville, immediately followed by a memorial service.

In lieu of flowers, memorials are suggested to the American Heart Association, continuing Nestor’s life mission of supporting cardiac research and helping others with similar conditions.

Nestor Karim Delgado Jr. will be remembered as a son, husband, friend, and advocate—a man who gave everything he had for those he loved and left this world undeniably better than he found it.

THIBODAUX, LA – A heartbreaking incident in the early hours of Saturday, July 5, 2025, has left two families in mourning and a community stunned. Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre confirmed the deaths of Draven Hendon, 30, of Thibodaux, and Jordan Landry, 22, of Houma, following what investigators are describing as a tragic case of negligent homicide followed by suicide.

Deputies and detectives with the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office responded to a distress call around 3:30 a.m. at a residence in the 200 block of Colony Station. Upon arrival, both individuals were found deceased at the scene.

According to preliminary findings, the two were reportedly playing with a loaded firearm when it accidentally discharged, fatally striking Jordan Landry. In the immediate aftermath, Draven Hendon allegedly turned the gun on himself, taking his own life.

“This is an incredibly tragic and senseless loss of life,” Sheriff Craig Webre said in a statement. “We extend our heartfelt sympathies to the families of those involved in this tragic incident. Our thoughts are with them as they process this unimaginable loss.”

Authorities are continuing their investigation, and while the current evidence supports the explanation of an accidental shooting followed by suicide, officials have stated that any new developments will be shared publicly as they arise.

This incident serves as a devastating reminder of the dangers of handling firearms irresponsibly. Community leaders and law enforcement continue to emphasize the importance of firearm safety, education, and secure storage to prevent future tragedies.
