I last saw him at R&R a few weeks ago. We had just left Coleman, where fans of all ages were lining up to take pictures with the legend Fluff himself after Alabama returned from Miss St.

He was all smiles, smoking a victory cigar and basking in the glory.

This isn’t fair.

He was one of the very few reasons I kept a Twitter account as long as I did. I remember him being terrified of COVID back in the fall and wanting to withdraw or do only online classes. He had a bright future.

Somebody mentioned it on Twitter but they gotta name the student section in the redone arena after him. They just have to

He was so appreciative, humble, proud in the interview.
He truly spoke from the heart as a true Bama fan.

SI writing about it as well. Hard to believe it’s true. He was at baseball last Friday. A week later, he’s gone.

Devastating news. Doesn’t seem real. Fluff has been our biggest supporter since day one. Put all he had into our program. Loved sharing this ride with him. You’ll be missed dearly my man! Wish we had one more victory cigar and hug together. Roll Tide Forever.@fluffopotamus88


Oats comments. Just sad

That’s sickening news. I thought many times this year with all the success we were having how much Coleman would have been rocking if fans were allowed, and he would have been front and center. I agree, name the student section after him, that would be awesome.

My son read it to me last night as we were headed to the hunting club to get in a turkey hunt this morning. I didn’t even know Luke aka Fluff, but with his personality on Twitter and the fire he showed for BAMA hoops, I feel as though I lost a family member. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of his family and friends. I know CNO, the team and staff are crushed as well. RIP Big Man!!

I still can’t rap my head around the fact that he was just tweeting in the last two days before yesterday, and then yesterday he suddenly got so sick.
