chongli Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 (edited) https://www.kiro7.com/news/trending/chiefs-superfan-known-da-beard-killed-car-crash/DLEPILNJZVEVJE4YLRHTVVWBSI/ "Chiefs’ superfan known as ‘Da Beard’ killed in car crash" INDEPENDENCE, Mo. — Daniel Nelson, a Kansas City Chiefs superfan known as “Da Beard” and “Red Beard” for his painted red face, was killed in a vehicle crash Monday morning, authorities said. He was 43. Nelson died shortly after midnight in Independence, Missouri, KCTV reported. According to Independence police, Nelson was driving a Chevrolet eastbound on 23rd Street around 12:20 a.m. CST when he crashed into a railroad bridge west of Noland Road, WDAF-TV reported. Police said that Nelson was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash. The incident is still under investigation, but police believe alcohol may have been a contributing factor, according to the television station. [...] Another Chiefs superfan, Lynn “Weirdwolf” Schmidt, told WDAF that she had been with Nelson during Sunday’s game, a 20-17 loss to the Buffalo Bills. “He gave me the big bear hug that he always does,” Schmidt told the television station. “You know, you’ll see photos of us together, and he’s always got his arm just like clawed around you because he wanted to be close with people. “I think the game really took a toll on him yesterday. That loss was hard. I think he let things go.” ------------ EDIT: I read this on the KC forum: https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showpost.php?p=17277174&postcount=33 "'Da Beard' is an anagram of his last moments: Bar. Dead." YIKES! Edited December 13, 2023 by chongli 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad thing, not fully reported yet it sounds like but if he was drunk at least he didn't hit anyone else. 9 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a bad year for Chiefs superfans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollars 2 donuts Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I believe so very much in the hereafter. However, I love my family and I don’t want to leave here for a long time even as I likely head into the last third of this journey. I don’t think he wanted to leave, either. It is sad anytime, any one of us goes too soon. 7 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Drink and drive you're an #######. It's a selfish act. It's reprehensible. I feel for his family and friends that lost someone. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
