BALTIMORE — If you're a true Ravens fan then you've probably heard of Captain Dee-Fense.
Wes Henson was the epitome of a super fan, leading the Ravens Flock since the team's inception.
On Tuesday, Charm City learned of Henson's death.
Decked out in purple camouflage fatigues, with a Navy Captain style Ravens cap, Henson was best known for carrying around a large D cutout with a piece of white picket fence, all of which became synonymous with M&T Bank Stadium's fan base.
Social media tributes poured in following the sad news, with some calling Henson a legend, who always was so kind and generous to others.
The Ravens issued this statement mourning the loss of Henson.
