In a different reality, Jack Bech's older brother, Tiger, and Aidan O'Connell's older brother, Sean, would've been good friends.
As they reflected on the lives and the personalties of their brothers, there are a lot of similarities. Both expressive. Both caring. Both went out their way to be a lending hand.
"Definitely the life of the party kind of guy," Aidan O'Connell said. "Any room he was in, he was definitely making his presence known. Very sweet, cared about our family, cared about his friends. I only have great memories of memories."
"My brother Tiger, definitely vibrant," Jack Bech said. "He always stood up for the person he felt didn't have a voice. He always fought that fight for the people he felt couldn't fight their own fight. He was definitely a person that put others first. Whenever he walked into a room, he lit it up."
Under tragic circumstances, neither Sean O'Connell nor Tiger Bech got to see their little brothers play in an NFL game.
