Keith “HatVol” Hatfield Passing

So nobody has offered a card, so I'll do one, though I tend to be more sappy:

"In honor of Keith, who exhibited wit, wisdom and compassion; three traits of a great man."

Workshop that, and let me know.

 

I believe there was a long term gf at one time

 

Think he was engaged at one point. Her name might have been Jill if memory serves.

 

The Auburn folks in my life detest when I call their school a "cow college". Will always credit Hat with that wonderful moniker that adequately describes that silly school.

 

Oh I wasn't sure what the plan was.

 

We're going to do the three tree memorial, and it has a spot for adding a card. That card... needs words. If nobody offers words, then we'll go with my words.

 

Well that’s weird, maybe you have to be logged in. I can see his posts.

 

Been away for a while, but came back to bye to Hatvol. Hit me hard tonight. Love all you guys.

 

I'll pm you my best effort. Gimme a minute

 

Miss you, Dude.

 

If anything that Hat’s passing has done… some of the old head posters coming back around here has been good for the soul.

At the end of the day, we are all human boys. We have severe flaws that are compounded by huge egos. We’ve all went separate ways at times, but I do sincerely hope you dudes know that you have been a big staple of my life and have been there most likely unknowingly in some rough patches in my own life… and when it’s all said and done… that’s what life is truly all about.

Life is too short for bitterness and angst. Every man to himself on here are some of the finest I’ve met in my life, throughout the world. Miss seeing you all around here, and hope this tragedy can bring some people “home.”

oh, and [uck fay] Auburn.

 

Sad news. Never met Hat, but definitely had a few run ins with him. His place amongst the UT sports talk greats is undeniable. Probably the most unique UT message board personality I've seen in my 15 or so years of wasting my time on here with all you yahoos.

Good to see some familiar faces in here that haven't been around in a while. Y'all should stick around.

 

I agree 100%.

 

Sup fellas. Sucks to hear about Hat. All time great poster. Educated me often. He is missed.

 

Hey buddy. Good to see you. Wish it was under better circumstances.

 

Total bummer. He played the smarmy heel to perfection on message boards. He was the Bobby Heenan of posters. May he Rest in Peace.

 

Yeah that sounds right. This sucks

 

Yup but you could tell he was at heart a good man

 

Came back around for the same reason.

"Why's it take a funeral boy, to bring you back to town"...
