I was hit with the news yesterday that my first Navy mentor, Rob Roy, passed away. Rob served 26 years in the Navy, including 20 years in the SEAL Teams. He served with DEVGRU on the East Coast and with Teams on the West Coast. When I was going through the screening process for BUD/S, Rob was in charge of the program. After I passed and received orders, he took me under his wing and spent countless weekends helping me prepare for training. After I left the Navy in 2016, Rob gave me a side gig training civilians who had earned SEAL contracts and were preparing for BUD/S. Yesterday morning, Rob was experiencing chest pains, so he drove himself to Naval Medical Center San Diego, and passed away from a heart attack at the gate. Rob had a tremendous impact on my life and on the lives of many others he mentored over the years. Till we meet again, brother. #LLTB

@its_me_kat3 (IG Handle/Sean’s Wife) asked me to share who Sean Johnson was so his name doesn’t get lost or forgotten. I met Sean when he was a new tech in the SEAL Teams. I was an E-6 at the time, and Sean stood out immediately—vibrant, humble, respectful, and hungry to learn. Every time I stepped into his workspace, we’d chop it up about life, the Teams, and his future. He’d always tell me he wanted to be a pilot someday. I’d remind him, “Stay locked in. Do the work—and you’ll get there.” And he did. Sean came from very humble beginnings—but he never let that define or limit him. If anything, it fueled him. He had a quiet determination, a spirit of resilience, and a heart that always looked out for others. Even after we both left the Navy, we stayed close—regular calls, meetups, and texts. He’d keep me updated every step of the way through pilot school, sharing milestones and progress. He was so proud, and I was proud of him. Yesterday, Sean passed away. He was the pilot of the helicopter that tragically broke apart midair and crashed into the Hudson River in NYC, taking the lives of a family of five along with his own. It’s devastating. Hard to even process. The company that provided the bird is known for janky helos. They wiped their website and socials after the crash. But that’s a story for another day. There’s a saying: “Parents should never bury their children.” Sean wasn’t my child, but after mentoring him for so long, he felt like one. And it’s so surreal to think we’ll be laying him to rest before my own time comes. The blessing in all of this—and it is a blessing—is that we had deep talks about faith. Sean gave his life to Jesus during one of our conversations, so I know I’ll see him again. Even while in pilot school, even after graduating, he’d reach out asking, “What can I do for you? How can I help?” That’s just who he was. He died doing what he loved. And he died having achieved the dream he spoke about all those years ago in that SEAL Team workspace. Rest easy, little brother. I’ll see you again. #LLTB
