In Loving Memory of Michael Anthony Magnotti: A Community Leader and Beloved Coach

Michael Anthony Magnotti was more than just a football coach; he was a devoted family man, a loving husband and grandfather, and a respected member of the Vienna, Virginia, community. As a past Football Commissioner, Michael played a pivotal role in shaping the youth sports programs in our area. His dedication to mentoring young athletes went beyond the football field, as he instilled values of teamwork, respect, and perseverance in everyone he coached.

Sadly, Michael passed away last Friday night after a long illness. His absence leaves a profound void in the hearts of his family and friends and the countless lives he touched through his coaching and community service. We want to honor his legacy and support his family in this challenging time.

Instead of flowers, we invite you to contribute to this GoFundMe campaign to support VYI Football, an organization Michael was deeply passionate about. The funds raised will help ensure that his legacy continues through the youth programs he loved so much.

Community Impact

Michael's dedication to coaching inspired many young athletes to pursue their dreams while fostering a strong sense of community. His commitment as a Football Commissioner and coach helped shape the lives of countless children, teaching them not just about sports but about life itself. Supporting this cause is a way to honor his memory and continue his mission of empowering youth.

Thank you for taking the time to remember Michael Anthony Magnotti. Your generosity and support will help carry on his legacy and comfort his family in their time of need.
