In Loving Memory of Our Young Hawk

Our West Ward Hawks family is heartbroken.

One of our players, just 10 years old, was recently shot and tragically succumbed to his injuries. This loss has shaken our entire community. No parent should ever have to bury their child, and no team should ever lose a brother this young.

He was more than a player on our field — he was light, energy, and joy. A bright kid with a smile that could lift a whole sideline. Funny, full of life, always cracking jokes, and always the first to run onto the field ready to learn. His passion for football was unmatched. When he put that Hawks jersey on, he was proud. And every time he touched the ball, you saw the spark in his eyes.

The kids loved him.

The coaches loved him.

He was family.

As we come together to support his grieving family, we are raising funds to help with:

Funeral and memorial costs

Family support during this unimaginable time

A tribute in his honor from the West Ward Hawks

Every donation — no matter the amount — is a way of saying his life mattered, his memory lives on, and our community stands together.

Thank you to every person who gives, shares, or simply keeps this young king and his family in their prayers.

Rest in Power, Young Hawk.

You will never be forgotten. ️
