RavensFlock Suffers a Big Loss
When I started what was then Ravens247.com back in 2003, one of the things I did was to walk through the tailgate lots, take pics of fans and post them on our site. It was one of our gorilla marketing tactics. Inevitably, I would run into Wes Henson, aka Captain Defense.
Wes was bigger than life in stature and in personality. Always upbeat, always approachable, never refusing a photo op despite the many, many requests. He loved his community, loved the Ravens and of course he embraced defense, the thing that at one time defined the Baltimore Ravens and the town they represented.
A 24-year veteran of the US Navy, Henson was a staple at local area senior centers and an enthusiastic mentor for Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. Any time I had the pleasure of his company, Wes was a beacon of positivity. During those brief encounters and immediately after, my day was brighter, the bounce in my step more pronounced. Wes Henson was a breath of fresh air who carried an aura of youthful buoyancy. And that’s something that military veteran groups, hospital patients and the children of Special Olympics can confidently attest to.
Wes passed on Sunday, October 5. Without him, without Captain Defense, RavensFlock will never be the same, but his legacy will live on. This Hall of Famer taught all who he encountered about respect, loyalty, kindness and so much more.
In his honor, moving forward in my weekly in-season Good, Bad & Ugly article, we will proudly honor the Ravens best defender each game with the Captain Defense Player of the Week Award.
Here’s to your memory Wes!
I’m sure as you crossed the goal line of those pearly white gates, you bathed in a cascade of silver, gold, purple and black confetti that you so rightly deserved.
For all RavensFlock, thank you Wes Henson for everything. You will be sorely missed.
