In a statement by the academy published on January 10th, the University said:
The Academy mourns the loss of Cadet 3rd Class Hunter Brown, 21, of Lake Charles, Louisiana. Brown experienced a medical emergency while leaving his dormitory for class on Monday morning. Academy first responders were immediately called and attempted life saving measures which were ultimately unsuccessful.
Hunter was a standout offensive lineman on the Falcon football team and was well-respected in his squadron. The entire U.S. Air Force Academy mourns his loss, and our hearts and condolences are with his family, his squadron, and all who were touched by this incredible young man.
Lt. Gen. Richard M. Clark, U.S. Air Force Academy Superintendent, said
Brig. Gen. Paul D. Moga, Commandant of Cadets, assembled the cadet wing before classes today.
It is with a heavy heart and profound sadness I share with you that we have lost one of our own. He leaves behind friends, grieving teammates, a grieving cadet wing, and a devastated family.
Moga said
Moga assured cadets they would not be dealing with the loss alone; a full complement of support services including Academy chaplains, mental health professionals and others were already in place for cadets, faculty and staff. Cadets had the option to access services in lieu of morning classes.
Brown was assigned to Cadet Squadron 16 and was pursuing a major in management, a minor in French, and had completed back-to-back winning seasons in 2021 and 2022 with Falcon football. Brown graduated from the U.S. Air Force Academy Preparatory School in May 2021.
Our players, staff and entire Academy have been so blessed and fortunate to have Hunter as a part of our lives. He was a pure joy to coach and have as a teammate.
He was tough, a great worker, and no one unselfishly pulled harder for others than Hunter. His mom and dad, Candyce and Dustin, raised a wonderful son who made each of us a better person. We love our great brother, and our thoughts and prayers are with Hunter’s incredible soul and his family.
Said Troy Calhoun, head football coach.
Agents of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations and the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office initially secured the response area and are conducting an investigation, standard protocol for any military member/on-base death.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
The Air Force Academy does not mandate that staff, students, and cadets receive a Covid-19 vaccine, but they heavily assert that cadets should get one.
On August 30, 2021, the United States Air Force Academy held a vaccination point of distribution for cadets to receive the COVID-19 vaccine in line with the guidance from the Secretary of Defense. Department of Defense guidance is that only vaccines fully licensed by the FDA are mandated for service members.
Currently, no administrative or disciplinary actions will be taken against cadets who do not receive the vaccine. Service-level policies, when released, determine what, if any, actions will be taken.
The Air Force Academy wrote in a statement
Be that as it may, this is another case of a vaxxed death.
But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
Colossians 3:25
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

It is good to know that God has no respect of person. My God is a fair God!
Yes He is! It makes me happy that God is no respecter of persons, but it also makes me fearful and reminds me to repent every time I sin.
