Please Help Jeizon Arellano Hernandez's Family

Jeizon Arellano Hernandez, a 17 year old senior who attended both Mt Juliet and Wilson Central High Schools, was struck by a car on Interstate 40 Sunday evening while changing a flat tire on his father's vehicle. Jeizon was known and loved by many, especially in the youth soccer community. Having played at Eagle Express Soccer Club for many years, he joined the prestigious and talented Barca Academy Nashville program last year where he has been a stand out player in the area. Greatly loved by current and former teammates alike, this tragedy has impacted not only Jeizon's teammates at Eagle Express Soccer Club and Barca Academy Nashville, but ripples through the whole of the Nashville youth soccer community affecting former teammates who now represent Nashville United Soccer Academy, Tennessee United, Tennessee Soccer Club and International Soccer Club as well as players from his middle and high school soccer teams.


In addition to his passion and talent for soccer, Jeizon was a smart kid, ever present with a smile and a very bright future. Injuries to his head and body from the accident have left him on life support while his family gathers. He will soon spread his wings and fly to heaven, leaving behind his mother, father, and six brothers and sisters. His family needs time to grieve. Any help and support to assist with medical and additional costs the family will soon incur are greatly appreciated.
