The Atlanta Falcons have made an incredible gesture in the memory of a season ticket holder who was killed in an automobile crash.

The team has removed his seat from the section it was in and presented it to his family.

Last week we lost Chuan McKeever, a dedicated season ticket holder. His seat within Section 103 was removed from @MBStadium, given to his family as a token of gratitude.
