Our hearts are heavy this morning as we mourn the tragic loss of Coach Vee Will, a member of our Calvary football coaching staff.

Coach Vee Will was loved and respected by so many, with relationships that reached well beyond Calvary and throughout the coaching community. Today, we join the many players, coaches, friends, and families whose hearts are hurting over this tremendous loss.

Most of all, our hearts and prayers are with his wife, LaJoya, and their daughter Nova. A wife has lost her husband, a little girl has lost her daddy, and so many have lost a friend, coach, and someone they loved.

In moments like these, words seem inadequate. We simply pray. We pray for comfort, strength, and peace that only the Lord can provide. We pray for LaJoya and their little girl Nova, for Coach Vee Will’s family and friends, and for every player and coach whose life he impacted.

Please join the Calvary family in lifting them all up in prayer.
