Jeff Conway – September 23, 2024

One of the most relentless and unforgiving diseases, ALS, is gaining ground on my dear friend, Jeff Conway.

Rugger. Naval Officer. Brilliant. I had the honor of visiting him in Hawaii last year, and I’m so grateful I did. Despite everything, his spirit was always high, and his humor—unforgettable.

This morning, I took time to meditate and reach out to him in my own way. I wanted to remind him of the incredible strength, joy, and dignity he continues to embody.

In Rugby, a game we both loved, there’s a phrase we use: “with you.” It’s simple but powerful. When someone calls out “with you” on the pitch, the player carrying the ball knows, without question, that their teammate is there—ready to support them, no matter what.

Jeff, right now, I want you to know that every Rugger who stood beside you on the field, shared a drink, and laughed with you, is with you now.

As we’ve said before, brother, you’re never out of the fight.

With you.
