Dear NVVA Family,

We write to you with great sadness to let you know that Jonathan Ford died in a car accident on February 2, 2010. He was the father of one of our 13's Select players and a shining light in the NVVA community. Jonathan took great pride and joy in his daughter's volleyball participation, both for LYV and NVVA. He volunteered countless hours when we painted and put down floors at VVC. His willingness to help, his electrifying smile and readiness to give anyone who needed a hug a big hug will forever be appreciated. His passion for his family was apparent to everyone and his support for Allison and the team she played on special. Jonathan was a fixture at VVC, watching his daughter play, as well as many volleyball matches he simply enjoyed observing. Often he could be found pacing on the line, calling in encouragement and enthusiastically cheering good points and will forever be sorely missed.

NVVA is honoring Jonathan's life by establishing a memorial fund in his name. We are going to be working with the family on establishing a fitting and lasting tribute at VVC for this very special man, husband and father. Jonathan is survived by his wife, Jennifer, and four daughters, as well as a large extended family.
