March 19, 2024: Harrison Butker, 3X Super Bowl Champion Kicker, Kansas City Chiefs

Harrison Butker is among the archived NYMLF breakfast sessions

Having completed his seventh season, and third Super Bowl victory, with the Kansas City Chiefs, Harrison Butker is both a leading point scorer and an anchor to windward for his dynasty-building team. Harrison is equally notable for his performance off the field as a husband, father, entrepreneur, and vocally faithful Catholic. Harrison took social media by viral storm in 2023 as a commencement speaker when his countercultural advice to graduates at his alma mater, Georgia Tech, was "get married and start a family." He is a public defender of human life, traditional marriage, and the greater restoration of our nation and culture—both as a prominent athlete and a business founder through his company, MDKeller.

The board of directors of the New York Men’s Leadership Forum is deeply grieved to share the announcement of the passing of J.J. Hanson: a son, husband, father, and tireless advocate for the dignity of the human person in his work against assisted suicide.

J.J. was unable to join us as a speaker in December due to growing health complications, and passed away on Saturday, December 30, 2017. We are grateful for his enduring spirit, witness, and testimony. He will be sorely missed.

Below, you’ll find a final testimony from J.J. and his wife, Kristen, taped three weeks prior to his passing.
