Micah Parsons Appears Wearing a “988” Cap, Sending a Life-Affirming Message in Support of World Suicide Prevention Day

This morning at the Green Bay Packers practice facility, Micah Parsons appeared in a green jacket with gold trim and a baseball cap embroidered with “988,” edged in teal and purple. No stage, no loud slogans—just three simple digits carrying a clear message: you are not alone.

“Today I don’t want to talk about any achievements. A human life cannot wait,” Parsons said quietly on the sideline. “If everything feels too heavy, call or text 988. If you know someone who’s gone silent, go sit beside them. Sometimes, presence is what saves a life.”

The number 988 is the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline in the United States, available 24/7 by call, text, or chat, free and confidential. The teal and purple on the cap are the awareness colors for suicide prevention campaigns, especially meaningful on World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10).

The small moment at practice quickly resonated: a group of visiting students whispered, “I’ll remember those three numbers,” a few shops around the facility posted QR codes linking directly to 988, and on social media the tags #YouAreNotAlone and #988Lifeline spread with a message that puts people before everything else.

Fans can lend support with very small steps: save 988 in your contacts, send a check-in message to the friend you’re thinking about, or share a short line—“Help is here — 988 (24/7).” Small, timely actions are sometimes the lifeline that keeps a life tethered.

If you or someone in the U.S. needs support, call/text/chat 988 (24/7, free, confidential). Outside the U.S., please find a local crisis hotline. If you’re in immediate danger, call your local emergency number.

Ravens Fan-Favourite CB Faces Family Tragedy After Week 5 Game as Military-Trained Skydiving Instructor Dies in Nashville
Baltimore, MD – October 8, 2025Baltimore Ravens second-year cornerback Nate Wiggins is mourning a profound personal loss following the team’s Week 5 matchup, as his cousin, Justin “Spidey” Fuller — a respected military-trained skydiving instructor — died in a tragic tandem jump accident outside Nashville. Fuller, 35, was fatally injured after becoming separated from his harness mid-air during a jump organized by Go Skydive Nashville. His student survived after landing in a tree with the parachute deployed and was later rescued by firefighters. Police confirmed Fuller’s body was recovered in a wooded area off Ashland City Highway. The Nashville Fire Department called it “one of the most complex high-angle rescues in recent years,” commending personnel for their efforts. Known by the nickname “Spidey,” Fuller died after a tandem skydive went wrong on October 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee. (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey) Beloved in the skydiving community, Spidey had completed more than 5,000 jumps and helped train U.S. service members in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused and devoted to lifting others higher — in life and in the air.” Wiggins — whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller’s mother, grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Nate that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Nate lives and plays today.” Wiggins, a former first-round pick from Clemson, has steadily earned the Ravens’ trust as a rotational cornerback in nickel/dime packages, praised for his speed, press technique, and ability to carry deep routes. Coaches describe him as “wise beyond his years,” calm under pressure, and disciplined at the catch point. Through the first five games of 2025, he has 12 solo tackles, 4 passes defensed, and 1 interception, reinforcing his value on the perimeter.  The Ravens organization has provided time and private support for Wiggins and his family, ensuring he can grieve without team-related obligations. Teammates have stood beside him, honoring both his resilience and his family’s tradition of service. The FAA is investigating the incident, while tributes to “Spidey” continue to pour in on social media from military colleagues, fellow skydivers, and fans across the country.“He taught others to fly — now he flies higher than all of us,” one tribute read. Wiggins kept his public comments brief, speaking softly before being embraced by teammates:“Spidey always told me not to fear the height — only the moment you forget to look down and pull someone else up with you. This week, I’m playing for him.”
