| CCSA mourns loss of U-14 Rec Player |
|
The CCSA lost one of it's members during the Thanksgiving Holidays. Damen Garcia was killed in a fire this past weekend.
Fellow soccer players met with Damen's father today. He informed them of everything that happened and how his family is doing. Damen's mother Maria suffered burns but her main problem is smoke and flame inhalation. She went in and out of the house 3 times trying to get Damen. The last time she came out she passed out and has not regained consciousness yet. They washed her lungs today. The next 24 hours will be critical whether she will make it or not. She is still in a coma. She is not aware of Damen's fate. His 2 sisters, 11 year old Joselin and 6 year old Ruby, are still in the hospital but doing very well. They will come home in 2 days. Damen has a little brother Michael who is 7 years old who was able to get out of the fire and he is fine and with a family member. Damen's father is holding up well but is devastated, exhausted and dealing with many emotions. I have more information regarding funeral arrangements. His father and family will receive visitors tonight 11/27 from 5-9pm and tomorrow 11/28 from 5-9pm at Ponder's Funeral Home 138 Melrose Drive, Dalton, GA 706-226-4002. His body will then be cremated. If you need directions to the funeral home please call me at 404-216-3904.
