Coach Factor was at the field that day doing what he loved most: fundraising for his team.

His passion extended beyond football, focusing on teaching children the importance of discipline, teamwork, and perseverance.

His life was cut short by senseless gun violence, leaving a deep void in his family, his friends, and the many young lives he inspired.

A fundraiser has been established to help his family with funeral costs and to provide support during this unimaginable time.

A portion of the donations will also go to the youth football organization he loved, ensuring his legacy of uplifting young people continues.

Rest In Peace, Travon Stewart.
