I have just learned that one of the fans that is part of "The Red Heat Wrecking Crew" has passed away in an accident.

James B. Denning passed away on Sunday, October 19. We just did a feature on his crew for the Maximum Cardinals Show just before the Ravens game. Here is the video feature. James is the guy that introduces himself as "Denzel" :22 seconds into the video:

"The Red Heat Wrecking Crew"

Here is the link to his obituary:

James B. Denning (1977-2003)

They have a guestbook that you can sign. Even if you didn't know him personally, it might make the family feel better if you offered a few kind words.

RIP James.

What?
Man, I saw them filming that last game.

Best wishes to James family and friends. Geez he's 11 years younger than me. That really sucks bad. Best wishes to all involved.

The cardinals are indeed losing a great fan. I never met him personally but watching the video the first time, he seemed as hard core of a fan as I am. The cardinals and its fans lost a good one. Best wishes to his family.

I don't know him but based on this video he seems like a person that lived life to the fullest.

God be with him and his family.

James was a great guy! Started tailgating with him this year and had some great times. What a shock this has been!

Check that I knew him, he went by Brian but most of his close friends called him Denz. I never forget a face.

Just wanna say thanks for all the support we have received since my boy's death. Cards fans are the best in the world. In addition the Cardinals organization has been amazing. Doing radio, TV and DVD tributes to him. Having the Cards in our life is truly a blessing!

Thanks again to all.

Damn...we sit right near those guys...love the names on their shirts.

My heart goes out to his family; just from seeing the video, he looked like he was a happy, very cool, excitable guy. We need more people like him in the world...not less.

:(
