Hey Youngs family, kickboxing tomorrow Tuesday the 13th will be canceled so as many of us as possible can attend Chaz’s memorial. We will be wearing our gym shirts in honor of Chaz’s commitment to the team at both Youngs Mma and thunderpig boxing. We hope to see you all there. Thank you and please share.

It was 7 years ago that you walked through the doors of Youngs Mma. The gym was newly minted, the team young and inexperienced and I was struggling to find my coaching voice. Overweight and out of shape but a fierceness in your eye. You were dedicated to changing your body and your work ethic was inspirational. None of your teammates will ever forget “purple Chaz” we were all positive that you would pass out one day from the effort. Little did we know it wasn’t the effort that caused the discoloration but the disease that you had been battling since you were a child. But you kept it hidden because you didn’t want sympathy or to be given special treatment. Years later you told me of how as a infant doctors didn’t expect you to see your teenage years and the scars on your body were from the machines that you needed to stay alive. You were not forged into a warrior you were born one. I often joked with you on how you were not the most dangerous fighter in the room but you were by far the scariest looking. But despite your look and your hardships you were not a bitter man. You were filled with compassion and always quick to help. Seeing your kind smile on such a hardened face will be one of the things I miss most. Being part of your journey has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. You taught me the true meaning of sacrifice and that heart and grit can go a long way. I will miss you my friend and this may have been your final chapter but I promise I will never stop telling your story....... I would like to close with sharing one of the last conversations I had with Chaz. I believe it sums up the man he was more than any long winded post ever could. Chaz was training hard for his boxing debut when we got word that his opponent had dropped out and the replacement they had in mind was a straight killer. After talking with the other coaches I decided to approach Chaz. I didn’t pull any punches I said “listen this guy is younger, faster, stronger more experienced and just an all around better boxer than you” I searched his face looking for any hint of doubt. “so do you want this fight?” He looked at me with those fierce eyes.....a smile split his face “let’s do it” Until the next round my friend Coach young
