I am proud to be one of the many young students Coach Sweat took under his wings. As a coach, he taught us to always give your best effort, “ a winner never quit and a quitter never win”. He coached, mentored and groomed many children in the Southend to become productive and successful adults. Always had gems of knowledge and advise when I ran into him as an adult. Coach you will be missed.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. He will be surely missed. May God comfort you and your family during this time of sorrow.
