Preston Payne passed on from this world the morning of Saturday, May 3rd,
2008 at 1:00 AM.
He died peacefully in his sleep.
Preston was a nine-year-old boy
who learned to play soccer with our club, and has played with us ever
since.
His team is the U10 Titans. His brother, James, plays for the U12
Jaguars, and his father, James, has volunteered his time as the coach
for many years. Preston and his family touched so many lives in our
club and community. Preston was diagnosed with brain cancer in October
2006.
Please continue to support his family in any way you can.
Service for Preston will be held:

No individual who has not completed this background check and
been approved with the designation of a five digit Risk Management number may
participate in club activities. Our club is responsible for keeping these
records, and we are committed to the 100% compliance policy.
