For a younger brother, who could be a better instructor, a partner in crime, and a voice of logic than his elder brother? No one, in fact. The relationship that brothers have with one another is truly unshakable. See the relationship between two brothers in college football- the younger one lost his elder brother in the attack on Bourbon Street in the New Year’s Day.
Fourteen people were killed, and numerous others were injured in the terror attack in New Orleans. The attack also claimed the life of a 28-year-old collegiate athlete. Nearly four days have gone by after the terrible event, yet the younger brother still remembers him. And he offers a touching remembrance of his final moments with his deceased brother.

He is none other than Jack Bech, a 22-year-old who honors his late brother, Tiger Bech. Tiger, who attended Princeton for three seasons from 2016 to 2018, was an All-Ivy League performer. After earning a finance degree from the Ivy League in 2021, he went on to work as a stockbroker for a company in NYC. The Princeton alumnus, who was spending the holidays in New Orleans, was a QB, WR, DB, and punt runner for St. Thomas More Catholic High School. Meanwhile, after two seasons with LSU and two more with TCU, his younger brother, Jack, is expected to declare for the 2025 NFL Draft after becoming one of the nation’s best WRs. Today, Jack pays homage to his late brother on Instagram, writing, “My Best Friend. My World. My Big Brother.”
According to Jack, losing his brother Tiger was the most difficult day of his life. Going forward, knowing that he is unable to communicate with him makes the days even more difficult. “I couldn’t be happier to know your in a city of Gold with Poppa. If there was any doubt about God, about Heaven, about our Savior Jesus Christ, there is none now. Heaven is for real, God is for real, and you are with him now,” wrote Jack.

According to the saying, life is full of surprises; you never know what will happen. They are entirely correct. Because Tiger might have died while he was showing his closest friend about the city and the well-known tourist destination, Bourbon Street. Jack had just talked to him a few hours before it happened, but no one knew it was going to happen. However, Tiger was placed on life support until his family could arrive due to serious internal injuries he incurred in that attack. Jack penned a heartfelt tribute message that would make you weep because he remembered the talk he had with his brother.
“You did it, you made it to Heaven. And you told me yesterday morning that’s where you were. You always wanted to be first, now you’re the first one to make it home,” Jack said. Jack claims that till the end of time, he will think about him every single day and at every moment. And promise to be the pillar of support for this Bech family. He is now eager to demonstrate to his Guardian Angel the great things he will accomplish in this world. And his big brother deserves all the praise. Because he was molded by the man. He expresses his undying love for his brother by concluding the tribute with the words, “I love you Forever❤️ 7toHeaven💕🙏🏽.”
Even though Jack will never be made complete again by losing him, we will finally know what truly transpired with the former Princeton wide receiver.
