Never had the pleasure to meet David in person. We've had so many discussions here (not just Saints) so I feel like I know him as a friend.

Brother, if you could hear me now - let me express just how much I appreciate your comradery, passion and intellect here. You made B&G feel like a home for us all for years.

I would greatly miss your wisdom and insight. I'm sure there's a ton of fish in Louisiana who'd breathe a sigh of relief but the rest of us need you here, cheering us on through the roller coaster of Saints fandom.

Praying for you.

Just called the hospital... He's getting palliative care at the moment. They're saying EOL is imminent.

Praying for a pain free transition.

re: Prayers for Jeanpierre - Passed away 8/26/2022
 

Godspeed brother. Tell JoeSam, Hagan and Foreverfan we said hello and who dat. Gonna miss you buddy.

re: Prayers for Jeanpierre - Passed away 8/26/2022
 

Peace be with you, JP. And also with all who will miss you.

re: Prayers for Jeanpierre - Passed away 8/26/2022
 

That's awful. We are always unprepared when friends and loved ones pass away.
I'm eager for you to be pain free, JP. I can't wait to meet you in heaven, brother.

re: Prayers for Jeanpierre - Passed away 8/26/2022
 

Halo and I just visited JP for probably the last time. Father Graf performed his last rites prayers. JP isn't coherent anymore. But he did squeeze Halo's hand. So he still can hear us. It could be anytime. God Speed, JP.

re: Prayers for Jeanpierre - Passed away 8/26/2022
 

Thanks so much for going there for us Smashmouth and Halo.

re: Prayers for Jeanpierre - Passed away 8/26/2022
 

Smash and Halo, that's an incredibly kind and incredibly difficult thing you guys have done. Thank you for doing that for JP.

I'm sure he felt the love of the people visiting him, I really hope his passing is peaceful and free of pain.

Thank you for the years of great conversation JP, I never met you in person but I felt you were a friend of mine whenever we spoke.

He's like family to us and everyone here

JoAnn is setting up a GoFundMe for his final expenses. He was not a rich man, in fact barely made ends meet , especially with the great challenges he endured after Hurricane Ida. JoAnn told us today he has liens on everything he owns. As soon as she sets it up, we'll post a link here. I think it's the least we can do.

re: Prayers for Jeanpierre - Passed away 8/26/2022
 

I've been through a lot of this "end of life" stuff lately. Even some hospice. Lost both my parents and some friends, oddly no one to Covid except for Glenn (Foreverfan).

I gave JP (David) the ole chooch! Talked loud near him and held his hand. I told him everyone here is praying for him.

Earlier today David awakened and told Joann (caretaker) that he was "very scared" of what might happen. He said his mind was consumed with fear of not knowing what happens next.

I told David not to worry - the world is kinda crappy right now and we're all asking Our Maker to open the gates for our brother JP (David). He will be in a better place.

I also insisted I was "Halo" and "everyone at blackandgold.com was thinking and praying" for him. He squeezed my hand. I told him this was a good thoughtful thread, and he will be remembered.

We're going to do some things to memorialize members who we know have passed away. JoeSam was the first member I met from here who passed on us. I still remember him. Nicest guy you could ever meet. We grabbed ribeye steaks in da quarter along with some cocktails back around 2006-07.

Please pray JP (David) heads off fast and easy. He has suffered enough here on earth.

re: Prayers for Jeanpierre - Passed away 8/26/2022
 

Amen

re: Prayers for Jeanpierre - Passed away 8/26/2022
 

I have learnt so much about football from this guy.

Thoughts and prayers mate. Pull through!

re: Prayers for Jeanpierre - Passed away 8/26/2022
 

It breaks my heart to hear that he's scared. I hope your words brought him peace. Hits a little close to home, considering my Dad passed in December due to cancer. Thankfully he had no doubts or worries about what comes next, and was very much ready to go, even if we weren't ready for him to go. We have a graceful and merciful God, and I fully believe that if there's something..holding David back, I suppose I'll say..then God will allow him the time and clarity he needs to sort that out, even if no one else is privy to it. I'll be praying hard for whatever his spirit needs to be free to go home. Thank you for the updates, and for letting him know we're praying for him and thinking of him.

re: Prayers for Jeanpierre - Passed away 8/26/2022
 

All,

It's with a heavy heart that I announce that David just passed away. I just got a text message he passed at around 12:20pm, only a few minutes ago.

Please pray David makes a speedy journey to his creator, but don't dwell too much. David is in a much better place.

Pray for all of us people stuck here on earth!!

Re: Prayers for Jeanpierre - Passed away 8/26/2022
 

God Speed, David. You will be missed

Much Love from us all here at BnG!

Re: Prayers for Jeanpierre - Passed away 8/26/2022
 

I'm very saddened to hear this.

Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts.

We'll miss you David (JP), I know I do.

Re: Prayers for Jeanpierre - Passed away 8/26/2022
 

Rest in peace JP, I'm thankful you're no longer in pain and in a much better place now.

Re: Prayers for Jeanpierre - Passed away 8/26/2022
 

I’m so sorry to hear this. He’s in a better place now, free of suffering. Tomorrow isn’t promised to anyone, be sure to live your life and spend time with your family. I’ll miss you JP

Re: Prayers for Jeanpierre - Passed away 8/26/2022
 

Oh man, I’m sorry I am just now seeing this and my thoughts are with him, his family, and everyone here on B&G.
J.P. seemed like one hell of a guy. I learned so much from him and he always took the time to simplify things for people like me who don’t know a ton about the game. Every year I looked forward to his training camp updates because it signified the start of another season. I wish him the best and I know that wherever he is now the pain is gone and he has reached the next step to a better part of his life.
I believe our souls go on to exist in a higher place after we leave this Earth. A place to live when we outgrow this one. Not really sure where that place is but if it’s a place where there’s football and fishing 12 months out of the year I know J.P. has found it.
I truly am very sorry to hear this news. Things will never be the same around here.

Re: Prayers for Jeanpierre - Passed away 8/26/2022
 

Deeply saddened by this news, but at the very least he is now pain free.

No words really...

Re: Prayers for Jeanpierre - Passed away 8/26/2022
 

May God rest his Who-Dat soul..

He won't be forgotten along w/ our other fallen comrades we were able to share a small piece of our lives with through the years at one point or another.

No more pain man
No more pain


May he fly high
R. I. P Brother JP

Re: Prayers for Jeanpierre - Passed away 8/26/2022
 

Really glad a couple of you guys went to see him before he passed. No one should die alone.

RIP brother.

Re: Prayers for Jeanpierre - Passed away 8/26/2022
 

We should let this be a reminder that we don’t always know what members of this forum are going through. It’s something to keep in mind when gauging our interactions with one another.

Re: Prayers for Jeanpierre - Passed away 8/26/2022
 

Well said, brother!

We love everyone of our members! :bng:

Re: Prayers for Jeanpierre - Passed away 8/26/2022
 

Rest In Peace JP. You were one heck of a saints fan with abundant knowledge. You will be missed around here, but I know you’re in a much better place with all the other saints fans who have gone before you! Get the who dat chant going up there.

Re: Prayers for Jeanpierre - Passed away 8/26/2022
 

Rest in peace, JP. Truly one of the most prolific posters and writers on our site. Appreciate his dedication. Look at all his blogs - https://blackandgold.com/blogs/jeanpierre/.

Re: Prayers for Jeanpierre - Passed away 8/26/2022
 

Peace and love David. Say hello to our other family members and especially Buddy D.

Re: Prayers for Jeanpierre - Passed away 8/26/2022
 

RIP

Re: Prayers for Jeanpierre - Passed away 8/26/2022
 

FFS... Was literally just clicking on his username when I saw this on top. On my drive in to work this morning, I was thinking that it had been a minute since I had seen any thing from JP and figured I would look to see if I just missed his replies or if he has been away.

Godspeed on your journey in the afterlife. Omnes una manet nox

Re: Prayers for Jeanpierre - Passed away 8/26/2022
 

I'm just seeing this. I never met JP (or anyone on this board for that matter), but it's sad to hear this. RIP jean-pierre [emoji120]

A staple of this board for a very long time. Good guy, passionate Saints fan, and spent a lot of time and energy bring info to the board. Rest in peace JP.

Hopefully we'll kick some Falcons ass and send you off with a smile.

Re: Prayers for Jeanpierre - Passed away 8/26/2022
 

Let’s send him off with a SB!

Re: Prayers for Jeanpierre - Passed away 8/26/2022
 

Sorry to hear he passed. Knew a great deal about the game of football, I've never met anyone that posts here but would given a chance. Had several discussions over the period of time I've posted here and none were ever bad in any way. I will miss him. R.I.P.

Re: Prayers for Jeanpierre - Passed away 8/26/2022
 

May JP rest in peace.

Re: Prayers for Jeanpierre - Passed away 8/26/2022
 

JP, you would've **** your pants today! If you had something to do with that complete 4th quarter dismantling of the Clowns...thank you. If not, then I sure hope you enjoyed it. RIP brother.

Re: Prayers for Jeanpierre - Passed away 8/26/2022
 

Miss JP ans Foreverfan of late. Life can be cruel at times with our close ones. Hope both can give the Saints a nudge from above.

Re: Prayers for Jeanpierre - Passed away 8/26/2022
 

Miss you!

Re: Prayers for Jeanpierre - Passed away 8/26/2022
 

No no no. Rest easy with Joesam, Kevin, and foreverfan.

Re: Prayers for Jeanpierre - Passed away 8/26/2022
 

It's been a year and I still think of JP every time I visit this site.

Re: Prayers for Jeanpierre - Passed away 8/26/2022
 

+1.

Great man. JP & Kevin (Hagin) ... made you feel like family from Day 1.
