Today my heart is heavy as I share the passing of Coach Smith. He was the boxing coach at Fitness Box when I owned the gym, and he was a big part of our community.
Hindi lang siya coach sa boxing. Coach Smith truly cared about the people he trained. He pushed his fighters to be disciplined, strong, and to never give upโboth inside and outside the ring. Maraming pumasok sa gym na beginners, pero dahil sa guidance at passion niya sa boxing, they grew not only as athletes but also as better individuals.
He had a special way of motivating people and bringing out the best in them. Malaki ang naging impact niya sa maraming tao na nagkaroon ng pagkakataong makilala siya o makapag-train sa kanya.
Fitness Box became more than just a gym because of people like Coach Smith. Nakatulong siya sa pagbuo ng isang place where people could grow, challenge themselves, and support one another. For that, I will always be grateful.
Coach truly fought the good fight. Tulad ng sinasabi sa 2 Timothy 4:7, โI have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.โ
Our hearts and prayers go out to his family and loved ones during this difficult time. Praying that God will give them comfort, strength, and peace.
Coach, thank you for the memories, the lessons, and the impact you made in so many lives. You will truly be missed, but never forgotten.
Rest in peace, Coach Smith. ๐ฅ๐
