Wings Soccer Club

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our dear friend and fellow Wings Soccer Club member, Tariye “T” Ekineh, who passed away on Thursday, July 16.

T was one of those rare people who made every field, every gathering, and every conversation better simply by being there. He always had a smile on his face, welcomed everyone, and had a unique gift for connecting people and building friendships. Whether you knew him for years or had just met him, he made you feel like you belonged.

Beyond Wings, T dedicated more than a decade to the Northeast Georgia soccer community, mentoring players, managing teams including Wings, coaching at Silverbacks Park, and leaving a lasting impact on countless lives. His legacy extends far beyond the game—it lives in the relationships he built, the people he inspired, and the kindness he showed every single day.

T leaves behind his wife and two young sons, Niko (6) and Kaio (3). As a soccer community, we’d like to come together for his family just as T always brought people together for others.

If you are able, please consider supporting the fundraiser established for his sons’ future. Every contribution will go directly toward helping secure their education and future.

T, thank you for your friendship, your kindness, and the joy you brought to all of us. You left a legacy both on and off the field, and you will be deeply missed.

Rest in peace, my friend. ❤️⚽

Attention soccer people…got old equipment (balls, cleats, shin guards, socks, shorts, and other soccer equipment) taking up your drawer space and garage space?
Pull together anything that might work for a 7-20 year old player and I can take it off of your hands.
I just donated over 150 soccer jerseys to the Moshi Street Kids Soccer Academy - Moskisa program in Tanzania. A local soccer mom who visited there said the kids have nothing and are in desperate need and have little funding to buy equipment. You know that soccer keeps kids playing and out of trouble.
Let me know what you have and we’ll coordinate. Thanks!

It is the hope of Wings Soccer Club that those who knew Ben and anyone who is a lover of the beautiful game will find the words to express their thanks for his unwavering dedication to the game, his club, the ADASL and all who play there. Wings Soccer Club will be forever grateful for Ben Lawrence.
