9 years ago, the TPB family received news that we never thought we would receive. James Sanchez received his wings and joined with the Lord above. During his time on Earth, he was one of the most active parents for our program. Before every practice and after every game, he would call or text Coach Rick at 6 AM and ask what the next game plan is. Every time we had tournaments fee to pay, he would reach out for sponsors and donors to help reduce cost. He always was an example of unconditional love.
Not only was he there for his daughter, Julie, but he was there for every single athlete in our program. James will forever set that golden standard of parent involvement and supporter for our program. He would be loudest parent from the stand. When we would watch old films, he always giving positive affirmations to everyone. His favorite line to his daughter was always “There you go, baby!” Or “BOOM!”—every time she sets the perfect screen.
James, you may not be here with us physically but you are here spiritually. Please continue to cheer and support us from Heaven. We know the Lord above is lucky to have your presence up there, and we will continue to take care of your family here on Earth.
You will forever be our #1 fan for Trinity Prep Basketball. 💜🤍🏀
F.A.M.I.L.Y—- Forget About Me, I Love you.
