This morning Dutchtown Senior soccer player Chris Martinez was killed in a car accident. He had just graduated from DHS last week. Chris was a wonderful young man who had been a player in the Gonzales Soccer Club and also in BRSA and BRSC. Our entire community is shocked and saddened by this terrrible tragedy. Please find time in your hearts to pray for the Martinez family.

Thanks guys....please continue to keep Chris and his family and his soccer family in your prayers. Chris was a great kid who loved life. He loved to be with people and all he ever wanted was to be accepted and enjoy soccer. Chris volunteered at my summer camps and he loved to share the game and enjoy the game any chance he got. He will be missed greatly. He has impacted my life temendously and I will remember him always. There will be a memorial on Thursday at the school. I will post details when I have them.

An account has been established at Capital One in the name of "Christopher Martinez Memorial Fund" account #2045572334
If anyone feels the need to donate to this fund, I would be extremely grateful as I know the family would. This money will help offset the cost of transportation to Kansas for the body and the family as well as burial costs.
