“He was the ultimate Hornet and will be greatly missed.

Ross, Jr.
Ross asked the public to please continue to keep Waters’ wife Catrina; children, Noah and Noelle, and all of their family and friends in your thoughts and prayers.

Memorial Day: A CommemorationMemorial Day, initially referred to as Decoration Day, was observed by many communities after the Civil War, when the nation suffered more than 620,000 military deaths, roughly 2 percent of the total population at the time. John A. Logan, the Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of Republic, chose May 30, 1868, as a day to decorate the graves of Union troops across the nation. From this beginning, Memorial Day is now designated as an annual day of remembrance to honor all those who have died in service to the United States during peace and war.
