It’s been one year since we lost our beloved @suzesuzeq. Think about you all the time. 🦋🖤 💔 So many times I prayed this day wouldn’t come. And there are no words, really, to describe how profound a loss this is for so many in our UFC family. Suzy Friton, our longtime, beloved UFC make-up artist, friend, and so much more, went peacefully on September 9th. Her attitude and fortitude over her final weeks will inspire many of us for years to come. Her fight was just so valiant, the belief in her ability to beat this thing so strong. I’m confident I would’ve succumbed a lot sooner. She just was able to channel a focus and a ferocity and a positivity that truly helped extend her life. There was just no one like Suzy. You couldn’t help but be drawn to her energy. And she’d stop at nothing to make sure your day or minute was made better. She constantly lifted people up with her spirit. Even when she was in the fight of her life, she was mindful of us. They just don’t come any nicer. As you might expect with someone so loved, a lot of people came to Suzy’s aid. And while I know I’ll leave someone out, I must acknowledge @heidideanharris, @meganolivi, @ariannyceleste, @cgartistry, @brittneypalmer, @chelseaclay16, Tara, and Jason. Man did you all answer the call in the most heart-warming ways. She felt every ounce of that love and support. There are countless others who donated or went way above and beyond by providing key services. UFC athletes stepped up with gestures I’ll remember forever, a lot of them just reciprocating the kindness and goodwill that Suzy had established with them over the years. @dustinpoirier, @tonyfergusonxt, @jonnybones, @mickeygall...on and on it goes. Thank you. I’m sorry to the dozens I’ve left out. Suzy was a huge part of so many of my best professional memories. She even was the one who came up with the name ‘Tatum’ for my second daughter when we couldn’t figure it out. So grateful to have that truth with me forever. I love you, Suzy. I am glad you are no longer suffering. We continue on in your honor, albeit somewhat reluctantly. I’m so very thankful I got to cross your wake. Love you.
