I was lucky to not only work alongside Mendez at Fesler but to also have him coach my son. Mendez inspired many students to put in their all during PE but where he truly shined was on the field. I always knew when Landen had a great practice or away game not just because Landen told me but because Mendez would find me first thing the next morning beaming ear to ear. As a Mom you don’t often see people as proud of your kid but Mendez often shared that proudness with me. On the field Coach Ron had high expectations but was always positive, encouraging, and their biggest cheerleader. Every time those players came back into the dugout Coach Ron made sure their entire team gave them a superbowl celebration. I know these dugout fist bumps and “good jobs” will be something that the OA team continues on in Ron’s honor. Coach Ron will not physically be there to coach Landen through these next two years of varsity baseball and that is something that is hard for Landen. However I know that with every at bat he will still hear Coach Ron shouting “Hey Landen take a good hack at it. Let’s go baby!”

Señor Mendez, 

Fue un gran privilegio conocerte y aunque no trabamos directamente juntos tuve la oportunidad de conocer la gran persona que fuiste.  
Siento mucho tu partida, fue súbita e inesperada, sin embargo los designios de Dios son incomprensibles y solo nos queda resignarnos al vacío que dejas en todas las vidas que tocaste.  Ruego a Dios por tu familia para que tengan pronta resignación y para que en Dios encuentren el consuelo que sus corazones necesitan.  Gracias por tu amistad.  Nos veremos pronto del otro lado del cielo donde ya estás gozando en paz.  
Bendiciones y mi más sentido pésame a la Familia Méndez.

Sending love from his family at Sotomayor Arts & Sciences Magnet. We are proud to have known him. Our hearts go out to his whole family.

Mr. Mendez was a great teacher to me, I remember when he would talk to me, during physical education class I would ask if he could let me borrow a ball for me and my friends to play and he would always say yes to me, he was a great influence I remember I asked him what plans he had for summer and he said he was going to coach, Mr. Mendez loved being a teacher and a coach he was very passionate with his career. I was shocked when I found out the news, he was taken to soon but only the God knows when it’s time, and God knew it was time for him to go he’s in a better place, may he look  over his former students.  Rest in peace Mr Mendez I’ll never forget you for being a huge impact in my 8th grade year.

Mi querido compañero
Como te vamos a extrañar. Las memorias con las que nos dejas van a estar con nosotros siempre. Las conversaciones de tu niñez, tu passion a ser entrenador, y el amor para la comida es lo que me llevó conmigo.  Los estudiantes tuvieron el privilegio de conocerte y hasta apreciaban tus regalos cuando traías tamales o fruta de las casa de tus padres.  Buenas memorias. 🤗  

*Para toda la familia de Ronnie, mi mas sentido pésame.  Mis oraciones están para Ron y su familia. 🙏

you were one of the few that had the power to leave me speechless.  Your sense of humor was wild but that's what made you, YOU!! I will cherish our talks and time together.🤍🤍

Watch over us FALCONS as you fly high my friend.  Dont forget to hug your tía Fabi and let her know you met another Fabs. 🫂

I’m going to miss you so much! Your students loved you! I remember last summer the kids would be so happy when Coach Rob would come to get them everyday. You are so special and very missed. 

You should so much enthusiasm every day and you were so wonderful to work with. 

See you on the other side :)

As a colleague and friend, I had the privilege of witnessing firsthand the remarkable impact he had on everyone around him. Coach Mendez was not only an outstanding coach but also a mentor, leader, and inspiration to our student athletes. 

His dedication, passion, and unwavering commitment to coaching were unparalleled. He always went above and beyond to ensure that every individual he coached felt supported, valued, and motivated to reach their full potential.

I will cherish the memories we had coaching baseball together and all the conversations we shared. Somehow we always ended up talking about our favorite sports teams, the Dodgers and the Lakers. 

My thoughts and prayers are with his family, colleagues and friends during this difficult time. Coach Mendez’s spirit will live on in the countless lives he touched and the positive influence he had on our community.

Very Respectfully,

Roger Morales
