Truly heartbreaking. I spent the majority of my career being mentored by an extraordinary man. Since I was 18 years old, Coach was a constant presence in my life—offering guidance, wisdom, support, and encouragement through every stage of my journey.
His impact on my life and the lives of so many others cannot be measured. I am deeply grateful for the lessons he taught, the example he set, and the friendship he shared. His sudden passing leaves me speechless.
Rest in peace, Coach. You will be greatly missed and never forgotten.
