To the Chaves Family, Coach Brasil and Sporting FC 98 Team:
At 7:02 that Sunday morning, the same morning that I received that devastating news from Norcal, I couldn't fathom nor would want my players to play that day. I didn't want them to play because through everything that I have done as a coach, I felt devastated with that news, but, moreso for the Chavez Family, Coach Brasil, Sporting FC 98 players, and their parents. Simply, there are no words to express the sorrow we felt that Sunday because there is nothing, nothing, nothing as painful as losing a friend, a teammate, a dedicated player, a nephew, a brother and most of all, a son.
We, the Bay Oaks U10B Road Runners 98 and the entire Bay Oaks Soccer Club Organization, are deeply saddened to hear about the death of Jonathan. We know how difficult this must be for each of you. You will continually be in our thoughts and in our prayers. As we step in to the field to play on Sunday, we will remember Jonathan - #8 on each players forearm, green and white ribbons on our jerseys, and for our younger girl teams, green and white ribbons for their pony tails.
"When those we love have left this earth, we still can feel them near. We'll see a picture, hear a song, and it's just like they are here. And when we call upon our faith, when we believe and trust, we know the ones we care about are always close to us." -Constance Parker Graham
With our deepest sympathy,
Amado Lozano
Head Coach
