My grandfather David Klotz of Shreveport Louisiana, my best friend, my idol. He was born and raised in napoleonville Louisiana and a life long LSU fan. It came time for college and his mother would not allow him to go to LSU saying he would fail out from the partying. He then went to Alabama where he received his bachelors degree. Shortly after he got the hell out of there and enrolled at LSU against his mothers blessing and went on to receive his law degree. He never missed a home game ever. Pops wore the same hat shirt and pants on game day for his last ten years. In 2000 during the LSU bama game in baton rouge he collapsed late in the game due to a heart attack. My father sitting beside him knew something was wrong when he did not stand in excitement during a game changing play, after he dropped the off duty nurse that had sat behind him for years pulled his nitrogen pills from his pocket with her grace and the help of the stadium EMTs and the quick airlift he survived. He witnessed the 1958 championship as well as the 2003 championship in person. He was not in good enough health to witness the 2007 championship and i received his ticket to witness my first championship game. The summer following the 2007 championship he passed. He was a great father, grandfather, an amazing person and friend. Pops was loved by all and known by tons. I carried his casket to the tune of the tiger fight song and will never forget that day. If he were here he would defiantly have a few bourbons with us all.
