Yesterday, my father, Vincent “Puncho” Jefferson, passed away peacefully after a private and courageous battle with lung cancer.
Known by so many as “Coach Puncho,” my dad dedicated his life to guiding and mentoring young people—on and off the field. He was more than a coach; he was a father figure to countless kids, a role model, and a steady presence in the community. His impact will live on in every life he touched.
As we process this tremendous loss, we are also faced with the unexpected financial burden of laying him to rest. We’re asking for support to help cover the funeral and memorial service costs, so we can give him the farewell he deserves.
Whether you’re able to donate or simply share this message, please know how deeply we appreciate your support. Every contribution helps lighten the load during a time that already feels so heavy.
Thank you for helping us celebrate his life, and for standing with our family during this time of sorrow.
With love and gratitude,
Vincent Meeks and Family
