UNIONDALE, N.Y. – Four-time Hall of Fame selection and the head coach of NM State football, Jerry Kill, has received his newest honor. Kill is now a member of the exclusive Marquis Who's Who Humanitarian group. The Aggies' head coach was honored for a long-standing tradition of service and dedication to helping the epileptic community. 
 
The head football coach was also selected as one of Marquis Who's Who Top Professionals of the Year in 2022. 
 
Much more than a football coach, Kill's civic honors are many as are his efforts as an advocate for epilepsy - a condition he has lived with for the majority of his adult life. Beginning with the formation of the Coach Kill Fund during his days at Southern Illinois, Kill also created the Chasing Dreams Coach Kill Epilepsy Fund during his time as Minnesota's head coach.
 
The National Football Foundation awarded Kill its Courage Award in 2009. In three successive years, Kill also secured the Cal Stoll Courage Award (2014), Bob McNamara Memorial Legends Award (2015) and the FCA Power of Influence Award (2016).
 
To this day, Kill continues to assist in fundraising monies for research for the National Foundation of Epilepsy. Kill's experiences as a head coach while living with epilepsy were chronicled in his 2016 book, "Chasing Dreams: Living My Life One Yard at a Time." 
 
In 2016, Kill penned and published his first book, "Chasing Dreams: Living My Life One Yards at a Time" alongside Jim Bruton. The book also covers Kill's work to bring awareness to cancer and epilepsy and his dedication to his players, how he drives them and turns them into disciplined and inspired football players.
