Victory Church had a memorial service on May 22, 2021; a few hours after the VCA 2021 Graduation. The day was extremely emotional for many reasons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On that tragic day, one year ago, VCA students & parents were told that Coach De had a “heart attack”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the memorial service, it was mentioned that he was “covid positive” a few weeks before his death. The church board was told the same thing by Pastor Blackburn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The truth is that he COMMITTED SUICIDE<\/strong> with his gun which was revealed on Facebook by a family member with the hashtags #Suicideisreal #Suicidesucks. The truth cannot stay hidden. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe idea of \u201cchoice\u201d is one of the most misunderstood when it comes to the matter of suicide, as though those who take their own lives selfishly and consciously \u201cchose\u201d to hurt their loved ones by the act. Those who think that the choice to commit suicide is cowardly or selfish need to understand the depths of despair that would lead someone down the path of choosing to end their own life. Rather, many of those who commit suicide feel as though they\u2019re a burden on their families and others\u2014that the world would be better off without them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To this day, no one knows why he made this permanent decision to a temporary problem. The lies that the school and church have told about his death are unacceptable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Suicide cannot be kept a secret, no matter what the reason. We are to be honest and be there for those in need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If anyone reading this article is contemplating suicide, know that it is not the answer. Find a friend or a loved one and speak to them. Find a trusted counselor. Confide in your family for help. You are never alone! God is with you and He does not want you to end your life! Your life matters! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For those who do not believe this article and are in shock, ask the Pastors and Staff at Victory Church & VCA. They are the ones who lied about the suicide the day it happened and have never spoken of it since. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
