ππ§‘ HURRICANES FAMILY ππ§‘
We are heartbroken to share the passing of Maryssa Contreras, a member of our El Paso youth sports community, who passed away unexpectedly earlier this week.
Maryssa was a wife, mother, and dedicated cheer coach with the Upper Valley Longhorns. She was also the uniform vendor for our Hurricanes cheer program.
While many of our Hurricanes families may not have known Maryssa personally, I was fortunate enough to call her my friend. As a fellow cheer coach, she was someone I could turn to for advice, guidance, and support. I learned so much from her, and I am incredibly grateful for the friendship we shared and the impact she had on me as a coach.
Maryssa was part of the larger community of coaches, parents, volunteers, and families who pour so much of themselves into youth sports here in El Paso. Her loss reaches far beyond one team or one organization.
A GoFundMe has been created to support Maryssaβs husband and children as they navigate this devastating loss. I would love to see our Hurricanes family come together to support one of our fellow El Paso youth sports families during an unimaginable time.
If you are able to donate, any amount can make a difference. If you aren't able to donate, simply sharing the GoFundMe can help.
Different organizations, different colors, but at times like this, we are one El Paso youth sports family. π§‘
Please keep Maryssaβs husband and children, her family and friends, and the entire Upper Valley Longhorns family in your thoughts.
