Coach Blake

A lifelong lover of soccer, Chris dedicated countless hours to coaching young athletes throughout the years. To many of the children he coached, he became much more than a coach—he was a mentor, a role model, and someone they could always count on. Those players grew into adults who continued to consider him family, a testament to the lasting impact he made on their lives both on and off the field.

Chris was also a respected and familiar presence within the Lakewood Property Owners Association, where he generously gave his time and worked to strengthen the community he loved. His commitment to Lakewood and the families within it reflected the caring and selfless person he was.

Chris’s legacy is one of unconditional love, generosity, compassion, and service. He had a remarkable gift for bringing people together, making everyone feel welcome, and leaving every person better than he found them. Whether on the soccer field, serving his neighborhood, or surrounded by his family, he gave his whole heart to the people he loved.

In honor of Chris's love for youth sports and our community, this fund will help cover sports registration fees for children whose families need financial assistance, giving more kids the opportunity to learn, grow, and play.
