Just a few weeks ago, the Baltimore Ravens fans were celebrating the news of their franchise quarterback Lamar Jackson signing a 5-year contract extension after months and months of trade rumors. Now the celebrations have come to a halt as the Ravens community mourns the death of the Ravens superfan Chuck aka PurpleReignEra.

Chuck is a prominent personality on social media amongst the Ravens community, who died by apparent suicide over the weekend according to multiple reports. On Saturday, PurpleReignEra, whose real name is Chuck, tweeted, “Sorry gang. I hope the Ravens do well but this will be my last tweet from me. Thanks for all the debates and laughs lol,” on his social media account.

The Ravens superfan has been living with the Baltimore-based model and social media influencer Stephanie Skyy and his two sons.

Amidst this tragic incident, the Baltimore Ravens‘ franchise signal-caller Lamar Jackson took to social media to send condolences to Chuck’s family. “Damn bro check on the ones that’s always in great spirits #Prayingforyourlilones #MentalHealthAwareness,” tweeted Jackson.

Chuck has over 14k followers on Twitter where he talks about sports, especially about the Ravens football. He has been dealing with gambling problems in recent days and also recently lost two of his best friends, who were shot during a robbery. Chuck’s family and his followers are saddened by the sudden demise of their loved one.

Amidst this tragic situation, there was also some confusion among the Ravens fans as one Twitter user named RavensNationLive mistook PurpleReignEra for the former Ravens defensive back Chuck Clark and tweeted “An icon, RIP Chuck, Mental Health is real, prayers for his family tonight.”

However, fans were quick to inform him that the NFL player is still alive and well. “Wrong guy. NFL star is not dead. it was a guy of the same name who was a Ravens fan. the Ravens Chuck Clark is still alive,” tweeted one Twitter user.

Chuck Clark played as the defensive back for the Baltimore-based football team for the last six years. He was recently traded to the New York Jets in the 2023 off-season in exchange for a 2024 seventh-round draft pick.
