Watch the emotional moment Ryan receives Super Bowl tickets to honor his late best friend
A passionate Philadelphia Eagles fan is headed to the Super Bowl in honor of his fallen friend.
When a New Year’s Eve celebration turned deadly, Ryan Quigley and his best friend Tiger Bech, were caught up in an unspeakable tragedy. The terrorist attack in New Orleans injured 15 people and claimed the lives of 30. Sadly, Tiger was among the fatalities while Ryan ended up in a wheelchair after breaking bones in his leg, back, and face.
The bones will heal, but, of course, nothing will make up for the loss of Ryan’s best friend. However, if life doesn’t go on, then evil wins. So, amid his pain and grief, Ryan has continued to follow his beloved Eagles as they’ve made it all the way to the Super Bowl, which takes place in New Orleans at the Caesars Superdome on February 9 when the Eagles meet the Kansas City Chiefs.
During his recovery, the Eagles reached out to Ryan and invited him to their Divisional Round Playoff game against the Los Angeles Rams, where he met several players and coaches.
Weeks later, with Ryan now on crutches, he was asked to visit the Eagles’ training facility with his best friend’s sister, Ginnie, and her friend, Lauren. They were invited on the pretense of taking a VIP tour. However, when they arrived, Ryan was in for a super surprise.
Watch the video below to see the emotional moment an injured Eagles fan accepts tickets to the Super Bowl in memory of his dear departed friend.
Ryan continues to share Tiger's story and plans to honor him in spirit at the big game.
