Maranatha mourns loss

| | Comments (101) |

You always hate to report news like this.

Maranatha's John Chavez died after he slipped and fell near the top of a waterfall, Inyo County Sheriff's officials said.

Talked to coach Joel Murphy on Thursday about this. The team had a meeting Wednesday night and no doubt they'll dedicate this season to Chavez who was going to be a starting linebacker for the Minutemen.

Here's the release from Maranatha High:

Maranatha Mourns Death of Student John Chavez

PASADENA -- Maranatha High School student John Chavez died on Wednesday, August 6th in a hiking accident at a summer camp in Southern California. He was 16.

Maranatha's Head of School, Chet Crane, said, "The Maranatha family mourns the tragic loss of John Chavez. He will be missed by all of us. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and his fellow students during this difficult time. "

Although the school remains on summer break, school officials are offering immediate assistance to students, faculty and staff. Counseling services are available on an as needed basis as part of the school's crisis management plan.

The son of Ramona Chavez, John would have been a junior at Maranatha this fall and was a member of the school's Varsity Football team.

....My thoughts and prayers go out to the Chavez family, friends and anyone who knew him....

I'd really like to seek out out how many a large number of dollars Trollback + Firm have been handed around for their unbelievably lame logo. I consider I did a thing like that in school 13 years ago.

What I wouldnt give to have a debate with you about this. You just say so many things that come from nowhere that Im pretty sure Id have a fair shot. Your blog is great visually, I mean people wont be bored. But others who can see past the videos and the layout wont be so impressed with your generic understanding of this topic.

A great submit certainly! That is the sunny facet of your writing, you create in a lucid method and I have no problems to realize what you have stated, although I am a novice. Keep the beneficial work going by proceed blogging new and entertaining posts.

Jedno od najomiljenijih skijališta Hrvata i mnogih drugih dražavljana svakako Skijališta u Austriji. Nema puno teških staza pa je to odličan izbor za one koji su tek počeli sa skijanjem. Povijest Austrijskog skijanja seže u davno devetnaesto stoljeće. Treba napomenuti je Austrija počela sa skijaškim turizmom u sklopu manjih obiteljskih gospodarstava,te sada teži izgradnji te spajanju tih puno malih obiteljskih gospodarstava u veće skijaške centre. Jedina mana je što će iskusniji skijaši biti dijelom zakinuti što se tiče same "zbiljnosti" staza. Dobri vremenski uvjeti i moderniziranost na viskokoj razini garancija za uživanja u snijegom prekrivenim Austrijskim skiajlištima.

Great blog!! You should start many more. I love all the info provided. I will stay tuned :)

Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

Total Control Marketing Review- Incredible submit which has obtained me considering concerning the possible of the idea. Genuinely definitely wonderful.

Albert Einstein the moment mentioned "The definition of insanity is carrying out identical matter more than and yet again and expecting distinct results". Consider about this quote for a second and ask oneself, does this quote apply to the way you run your firm? Have you been accomplishing identical issue above and once more expecting unique benefits? If so, then you definately might want to maintain on reading. In a globe in which know-how is becoming a key productivity tool for the success of any business, it basically comes down to, will you be accepting and harnessing engineering or rejecting it. Are you currently prepared to alter or will you do precisely the same factor around and once more?

My thoughts and prayers will go out to this family - and for the students of Maranatha. May God bring you strength and wisdom in the days to come.

May this all remind us how precious and fleeing life is. Tell the ones you love - that you love them everyday.

Nothing is guarenteed.
