Almost two years since his wife’s death, Ensminger still wears his wedding ring. He wouldn’t take it off for months. Now it hangs from a gold chain around his neck. Carley wanted Steven to pursue the coaching career he sacrificed for her. This was where he’s supposed to be.

It’s the first Friday night of high school football season. Ruston High at Neville High. And Ensminger, the new quarterbacks coach at Ruston, was about to take part in one of Louisiana’s oldest rivalries.

Sad day and proud of this young man. Hard to do by any measure.

Great read. Hang in there Steve Jr.

Still breaks my heart. Great to hear that he’s doing the best he can with the life he’s been dealt.
I hope the manager of that plant who wouldn’t let him off to watch his dad coach in the playoff hasn’t had a peaceful night’s sleep since.

Damn. Can't imagine. Seems like that's thing that, despite being awful, can sharpen a man to be great if he lets it.

My heart breaks for him too. She was a BEAUTIFUL young lady, and seemed to be an absolute sweetheart, and I'm sure a great wife. Sometimes life just isn't fair.

Correct. Our trials are supposed to make us stronger but, damn, just damn it I don't know if I would be strong enough to keep on going after a trial this devastating.
Hold strong young E, you came from a strong family and hopefully the pain will only be a dull ache once enough time passes.

Why should he have gotten preferential treatment? Vacation is frozen for process operators and supv. from Dec 22-Jan 3. I missed a lot of christmases working at that plant. He knew it when he took the job. The person who hired him was one of the biggest LSU fans I’ve known.

Words aren’t worthy. Bless them

Praying for him as he continues to move forward. Get busy living or get busy dieing, damn right! God Bless you Jr.

I feel like that story got lost in the whole shuffle with all of the other 2019 storylines. Such a sad day and both Coach Ensmingers deserve nothing but respect for the way that they handled this. They will always have a spot on LSUs sidelines.

What’s with all the down votes? The Man’s just telling us what the company policy is & that it doesn’t bend to give preferential treatment to ANYBODY!

I pass by the crash site all the time in Lafayette. Sad everytime I pass.

Did they let him take time off when she died?

You sound like a woman.

The Reggie Bush thing got me. Package deal 
When that dog passes it will hit him like a ton of bricks as well. Got to be hard in love and planning for the future and then it just ends on what should be one of the greatest weeks in your families history.
