Support Marco Nogueira's Family in Their Loss

It is with deep sadness that we share the sudden passing of Christian Nogueira, beloved son of our taekwondo coach, Marco Nogueira. At just 27, Christian’s life was tragically cut short. For years, Coach Marco has devoted himself to teaching and mentoring countless children and adults in our community, shaping not only their taekwondo skills but their character and confidence.

Now, as Marco and his family face this unimaginable loss, we have the opportunity to support them in return. Beyond the profound emotional pain of losing a child, they are also facing unexpected financial challenges related to funeral and memorial expenses.

We have created this GoFundMe to help ease that burden so Marco and his family can focus on healing and honoring Christian’s memory. Every contribution, no matter the amount, will go directly toward funeral costs and memorial arrangements.

Christian was a bright, energetic young man whose memory deserves to be celebrated with dignity and love. Let us come together as a community to stand beside Marco during this heartbreaking time and show our gratitude for all he has done for us.

Please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser with others. Your kindness and generosity will make a meaningful difference and are deeply appreciated by Marco and his family.

With heartfelt gratitude.

On behalf of Coach Marco and his family, and per his wishes, any remaining funds—after covering immediate expenses—will be donated to Aachieve It Foundation (https://www.aachieveit.com/), where Christian served as Vice President. Your support not only helps the family during this difficult time, but also honors Christian’s legacy by continuing the work he cared deeply about. Thank you for your kindness and compassion.
