Michael Sarkesian

What a teacher! What a mentor! And what a coach! There are teachers all over Shawnee County making a difference in children's lives based on the teachings of Sark. May your family find peace and blessings in the memories and the legacy that he leaves behind.

My deepest sympathies to the Sarkesian family. As a former player for Mike (back then it was "Mr. Sarkesian"), I had the good fortune of playing on two state championship teams that he coached (and semi-finals the other year). Although he was a "football guy" first, his biggest strength as a basketball coach was his ability to motivate his players. He convinced us that if we played "team basketball" and sacrificed for each other, we would be win. And, he was certainly right.

Sarkesian Family:

So sorry for your loss. I played for Mr. Sarkesian at Hope High School and Iowa Wesleyan.
AND I grew up in Smith Hill on Goddard Street !
He helped so many kids, including some who would
not have gone to college without his help, He recruited so many Rhode Islanders who would not have otherwise left little old Rhode Island.
May he rest in peace !

So sorry to hear your sad news. My prays are with you. Janet Robinson

Sark was one of my favorite professors while I worked on my Elementary Education degree. He was fair, encouraging, and a downright good person who really cared for his students. I was very fortunate to have him for a professor and I will never forget him.

So sorry. Great Professor.
