A beautiful mural in Oceanside’s Balderrama Park remembers and celebrates home town football hero Junior Seau.
The legendary NFL linebacker attended Oceanside High School and spent most of his life a resident in San Diego’s North County.
He played with the San Diego Chargers for 13 seasons, helping to lead them to Super Bowl XXIX. His play seemed superhuman. He would become one of the most popular Chargers players of all time.
Junior was active in the community, plus a surfer and restaurateur. He was loved by everybody.
His untimely death was so tragic, believed to be caused by repetitive head trauma while playing the game.
The Oceanside mural, painted by Ground Floor Murals, captures the beautiful soul of Junior Seau.
Another fantastic mural depicting Junior Seau can be viewed in San Diego on El Cajon Boulevard. It was painted by the same artists.
