In Memory of Montez Case

Elite SFN Boxing team member Montez Case, 22, of Columbia, Maryland passed away Sunday June 13th, 2021. Affectionately known as Tez, he quickly became the adopted little brother and big brother to many people at the gym.

Tez was a member of the boxing team for over 2 years with Kwame Ritter as his coach. He was known for his heavy punches, fast footwork and discipline. Tez had 3 bouts with a 3-0-0 record.

Many memories were made at Elite such as sparring sessions with Kwame and the team, conditioning training with Eleni, and many car trips for boxing shows. Our brother will be truly missed, with his infectious smile and laugh that can still be heard as well as the grumbling pains of having to cut weight and stay in shape for upcoming shows. Elite SFN will not be the same without his bubbly personality nor his quirky ways of getting the job done.

Even after Tez's last fight with Elite, he made continuous efforts to keep in touch with the team to make sure that the younger fighters are staying focused on their goals and are staying in shape.

Montez leaves behind a beautiful family including his mother Lapena, grandmother, great-grandmother, various uncles, aunts, cousins, friends, the boxing family and a baby boy on the way.

In honor of our beloved brother, we are asking for a donation to help Tez's mother with funeral costs and to help with baby expenses for his son due later this year. Just like Tez's personality, no amount is too big or too small. Please consider donating, as any amount will truly help his family during this difficult time.

In memory of our little brother/ Elite Boxing Team Member/ Montez Case. We love you brother, you will greatly be missed!
