Damn that’s sad
💔
RIP Kenny
😞🙏🏻
Best ever Seahawks safety. Was massively underrated after his career but glad common sense eventually came through and he got his jacket.
RIP The Enforcer 🫡
Damn, one of the greats from my childhood. Glad he was able to patch things up with the team.
He was a little bit before my time (not by much) but I have loved watching old highlights of the man.
RIP, The Enforcer.
RIP to one of the greatest to ever do it. A shame his career was cut short, but still made the HoF. The original defensive legend of the Hawks.
Damn man.
I’m glad he made the HOF while he was still alive tho.
I remember getting his autograph outside training camp in Cheney.
I hope his later years weren’t too difficult, medically. He had a triple bypass surgery nearly 10 years ago.
My all time favorite Seahawk. This one just hits hard.
RIP
I met Kenny at an autograph signing at Good Guys Home Video when I was a kid. It was the the off-season, and he was on crutches after knee surgery. He was entirely gracious, patient, and good-humored. Signed my Largent jersey after playfully registering his caution over infringing on someone else’s territory.
Absolutely legendary on the field and off. Publisher of Inside The Seahawks, the biweekly team magazine on newsprint in the 80s/90s.
So glad he made it to the Hall of Fame. He was a gem.
RIP
Let’s win it for Kenny!
I know which jersey I’ll be wearing tomorrow.
Rest in peace. I listened to him on multiple podcasts and he was always kind, thoughtful, and articulate. I know that he said he has been battling health issues throughout recent years 🙁 I wish him and his family the very best. He was an amazing human being on and off the field.
He was a prototype FS! All time great
Legit candidate for best Seahawk ever- and my first favorite player
RIP to a legend. So glad he got to get his flowers in life and get inducted to the HOF
Damn. Shit news. Kenny Easley was the fucking GOAT. Glad he finally got in the Hall of Fame a few years ago while he was still alive to enjoy it.
I had this poster hanging on my wall when I was a kid. Some really good childhood memories, of watching him play.

Not even a mention of it on ESPN.
RIP The Enforcer.

Kenny was the man!! Career cut short but absolute Gem of a player. RIP to the Enforcer!
God, that sucks. RIP to a legend.
RIP to The Enforcer! One of the all time seahawk greats
He got screwed by the medicine practices of the times but I am just happy he got to see himself go into the hall before he passed.
