The last time I saw Victor, I had a chance to thank him. I had tried to put into words the important role he played in shaping all these kids, including my youngest many years ago. His smile would brighten a room, but his laughter, well that would fill it.
I managed to capture this picture of Victor and my girl sharing a moment and to this day, years later, it still warms my heart. He taught her more than just to tumble. He taught her to work hard and push through even when things seem impossible and for that I am grateful! less
I am so heartbroken about Victor. I had the pleasure of having him in class, but it's truly an honor to know him. He was one of the kindest, most determined individuals with a smile that would truly light up the room. God bless you, Victor. 💛

The last time we saw each other you gave me the biggest, most quintessential Victor hug and I felt so loved in that moment... because you were love, and laughter, and friendship, all of these beautiful things wrapped into one dynamite human. Thank god Danielle and Nicole brought you into my life way back then, those memories I will always hang tight to. I would give anything to have another dance and hug from you. What a different world it’ll be without you in it. Sending all my love to his wonderful family, friends, and students. An entire community adored you. Rest easy Vicky, love you ❤️ less

While there are so many great memories I could share, I think my favorites are from family trips to Florida as kids. I’ll always remember the time Uncle Bud was supposed to take Victor, Timmy, Nicole and myself out fishing.

I’ll always remember the time Uncle Bud was supposed to take Victor, Timmy, Nicole and myself out fishing. We didn’t make it very far before Victor got sea sick, so we turned around to drop him back off to Aunt Josie. I felt so bad, that I said I was sea sick too, so that Victor wouldn’t be by himself. Aunt Josie ended up bringing us to go see a movie and the whole car ride there, Victor and I were in the back seat belting all the songs from Hercules. Belting out Disney songs, especially from Hercules, seems to come up a lot in my memories with Vic. I’ll miss him more than words could say. He was such an amazing human, and will be missed by so many. less
i will never forget all of the goofy meijer and walmart runs we did at 2am for nothing. if i was having a bad day i knew i could count on your phone calls to cheer me up. you will be forever missed. i love you so much 🖤

You taught everyone around you how to love and live life having a great time along the way. An electric energy, so perfectly Victor. Shining so bright. I have never known a soul as vibrant as yours, Victor. Insisting we take a photo to document that beautiful moment forever and I’m so glad. I’ve often thought about that night and how I want to bottle it up and keep it forever to hit replay. Those times have come and gone in a blink of an eye. Young and free you will always be, only a moment apart from us here. We’ll all be seeing you again real soon, just a blink of an eye. See you soon dear friend. less

While they may have moved on to a new gym, all of us remember their coaches over the years, especially Victor. They were honored to wear these pink and black beads when they competed with their team at Summit. When they told their team about Victor's fight every teammate wanted to wear them too. These may just become a permanent piece of their uniforms. The impact Victor has had on so many young athletes is tremendous. His life was far too short but the mark he left on the world will never be erased. less
I'll always remember VBS. Victor and I would always find ways to mess with each other. My favorite was when we filled water balloons and ambushed Jay for his birthday. R.I.P. Victor you are missed ❤

Over the past few days I have seen their posts and it is truly heartbreaking. From what I can tell Victor was the kind of person everyone loved. To all of the people he coached, just know he LOVED you all and you made he is life worthwhile. To his family, he is looking down on you thanking you for everything you have given him in his life. I know he fought as hard as he could and unfortunately got the short end of the stick. However everyone affected by this: I am sending you love and support in this time of grieving. ❤️ less

I will cherish every moment we spent together as a family. There will NEVER be another one like you Vic. I can go on and on, but there aren’t enough words to describe how beautiful and wonderful you were and that’s how I will ALWAYS remember you. As a truly beautiful and probably the happiest human being on the face of this Earth. less

I have to believe God needed you more, I told Jadeyn you are now out Guardian angle. We love you buddy and will never forget you. Until we meet again all our love always less

Oh sweet Victor we will miss your hugs. To be able to hug someone and feel all the love that exists within their being is rare but was made known by you. We promise to try our best to continue to spread the love and the joy that you brought to so many.... moreOh sweet Victor we will miss your hugs.
