Victor Alexander Sapp III

I still hold Vic in my thoughts and prayers. He meant the world to our family and I’m forever grateful to God our paths crossed. He was not only a mentor to our children but a friend. Fifteen years later we are are still deeply hurt by his death. Vic will never be forgotten and will always remain in our hearts.

Sincere Condolences
Mary Stapleton

It has been 12 long rough years without Vic and I miss him more today the ever. He was the light of my life. People talked about losing a dear friend but I lost a great son whom I was proud off and would go out of his way to help anyone Coach Vic Sapp, love you more and miss you everyday.

"Uncle" Vic,

I cant believe you are gone! Not you, not now. the only comforting thing i have is that you and mama are singing "take me down"!!!
Love, Natasha

I can't begin to say how sad and shocked I was to learn of Vic's untimely passing. I served with Vic on the Board of Directors at Ocean Forest Plaza in Myrtle Beach, S.C. for several years. His integrity was always admirable and his determination to accomplish projects was inspiring. The entire Board of Directors is so deeply saddened as we have lost a dear friend and colleague. May God bless his family and all that has been touched by his influence as we try to understand and get through this sadness. We miss you Vic.

Vic was truly an inspiration and help to the SC AAU organization. He was a true leader and friend to all of us. He will be missed by all. God bless the family and friends in this terrible time.

Although we were your neighbours on San Juan we felt that we never really got to know you because you were such a busy man, giving and sharing with those that knew you well. We are forever thankful of your generous and kind support of our son's baseball program at East Chapel Hill High.
All of your neighbors are deeply saddened and want to give our
condelences to your entire family. Rest in Peace.

The opportunity to meet and work closely with Vic in pursuit of a common passion, Youth Basketball", was a blessing to me. Vic's energy and deep commitment to excellence will be long remembered by those of us who respected him so much.
Vic was a tireless worker, who loved basketball and loved seeing kids succeed.
May God continue to Bless his family in the coming monthes in their time of mourning.

To Mona and the Sapp family: I wish to express my deepest heartfelt condolences during this time. Your family will be in my prayers. Mona spoke often of Vic in the office and although I never had the opportunity of meeting him, I know that he was a wonderful, intelligent and talented individual. God bless each of you.

we will miss u and all the hard work u gave to the aau

Vic was like a candle that brightened the lives of all who knew him. It seemed the candle burned at both ends much of the time. Perhaps that is why his time with us was so short. Rest well Vic. We will miss you.

To The Sapp Family:
My heart felt condolences to each of you, Vic was a dear friend and he will be missed by all of the AAU
family. May "God" continue to hold each of you in the palm of His hands as you go through this very difficult period.

As the parent of a NC Gater basketball player, I had nothing but respect and admiration for a man who dedicated so much of his time to the positive development of young athletes. We knew him as a kind and generous man. He will be missed tremendously. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Sapp and NC Gater family. May God bless.

I worked with Vic for 10 1/2 years. He was part of my family. Tyson was very close to Vic and enjoyed playing for him in Gater's Basketball. My heart breaks and the tears won't stop as I have lost a very dear and close friend, a big part of my life. I will miss you Vic --hearing you in the gym throwing out plays to the players,clapping your hands hard when you want them to move faster, buzzing around like there is no tomorrow. I will miss our talks, the laughs, the tournaments we did together, you teaching me to shag and all your 20 emails you send me daily. I know how proud you are of what you built with the NC Gaters, you beamed every time you came into your gym. You built a legacy and your Gater Family will keep the fire burning in your memory. I miss you Vic ---Rest now --I am sure you have your hands on a basketball. keep an eye on all of us.

The opportunity to meet and work closely with Vic in pursuit of a common passion, Youth Basketball", was a blessing to me. Vic's energy and deep commitment to excellence will be long remembered by those of us who respected him so much.

God's greatest gift is evelasting life after death, and to allow us to serve him by helping others here on Earth. Vic Sapp did serve well.

May God Bless his family in their mourning.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. We were so saddened to hear of Vic's passing. We have worked with him for several years through the NCAAU program and will miss him tremendously. May god bless the family and give them strength to help them through this very difficult time.

As a young man in this world i cant tell you how valuable Vic was to me finding my way. Now that hes gone i hope i can continue to use the wisdom he has so generously given me.
My heart and prayers go out to this mother and family.

I pray the work Vic did for young people will continue to be a source of strength for those he left behind. His legacy is left in stone and he will forever be remembered.

Vic, you will never be forgotten. You have had a huge influence on my family and close friends. Thank you for everything you always did for everyone!

Vic’s contributions to North Carolina youth though his leadership in the NC Gaters AAU Basketball organization were truly unsurpassed and will be sorely missed by the many communities that benefitted from his efforts in so many ways.

I deeply mourn the passing of a genuinely great person and good friend.

The family will be in my prayers during this most difficult periiod.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Sapp family during this time. Keep strong in the Lord and know this to shall pass and brighter days are ahead

Vic, you will be missed my friend. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

We are so very sad to hear about Vic's passing. Although we haven't been in touch for many years, we still have very fond memories of Vic. We remember his humor and his wonderful musical talents. He was like a big teddy bear and was loving and giving to all who knew him. He played the guitar and sang at our wedding 21 years ago at St. Pius and it made our wedding so special. We will miss him and we pray that God gives you comfort and strength during this difficult time.

We were so saddened to read about Vic's death in Thursday's edition of the newspaper. We were introduced to Vic back in the early 1990s through the Guilford YMCA and Allstar basketball team. Vic's time on this earth impacted my family so positively thru these programs. We could never forget him even though we had not seen him in years - nor would we ever want to forget him. He was unforgettable because of all his positive influences on the lifes of our children. His short 46 years on this earth made a huge impact on many, many youth and their families. He will definitely be missed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family as you face his passing. The world is a much better place because of Vic's selflessness.
Robby and Sara Dunnagan

May god be with the family during this time. I only knew of Vic through AAU and I will keep the family in my prayers.
