My dad, Victor Marquez, taught me everything I know about basketball, a game that he loved and has taught me so much about life. He also loved sharing his passion for the game with the youth of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Magna, UT where he directed the youth basketball program and coached countless teams ever since I can remember.


Until the very end before he passed away he was still recruiting new coaches and players for the basketball program. Through the youth basketball program he shared his faith and taught young men and women about the value of team work in life. 


His final wish that he wrote down for us is a humble request for a program that he loved: "In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church Basketball Program."
