Hey everybody. I hate to be the one to have to break this news, but our friend TidalSurge1 passed away on July 8th.

I sent him a text a couple days ago and he never responded. I knew he was having some health issues lately based on a few of his posts so I Google'd his name, Florida and obituary.

Steven A. James

His service was last week, but there is an option to send flowers to his family or plant a tree in his memory in the link.

Damn. One of my favorite people on the board. Definitely was salty and petulant at times but also a true Bama fan and seemed like a good dude. Condolences to his family, he will be missed by me.

Sad to hear. I never really interacted with him directly but I always appreciated the work he put in on the recruiting threads. Prayers for his family.

I'm really saddened to hear this. I knew he had some health issues, but I didn't realize it was as bad as it apparently was.

Rest in peace, TidalSurge1. You were crotchety and petulant at times, but no one could doubt your love of Alabama. You will be missed.

Hoping he, Cecil, and Fluff are talking about Tide sports right now.

Very sad news. I was just thinking of him a few days ago when I noticed he had not posted in a while. Was hoping he was recovering well from his health issues. He was a boon to this site, will miss his presence.
RIP Tide Surge. Steven James.

We can be assholes to each other sometimes, but life is more important than any of this.

Roll Tide, Steve! Rest is peace
