Birth date: Oct 12, 1971 Death date: Apr 9, 2024
I hadn't heard the news but learned of Che's passing this moment; I wanted to touch base, catch up, and I am so very saddened by this news. Although I also grew up in Houston, I didn't meet Vonche until SWT. I will never forget how easy he made everything seem. Such a fun guy to hang out with even when there was nothing happening. Ill see you on the other side my friend.
I haven’t heard Vonche’s name in a very long time. But man when my sister told me he passed away, it hit me hard. Vonche was a great friend in middle school (Holub) and I wish I would have let him know. His smile and personality and respect for others let you know he was a great guy and obviously was raised by a great mother. He didn’t need to be the center of attention. He just wanted to be with his friends (school, band, parties, basketball courts…and all the jokes, smiles and laughs)
He and I and a couple of band members before class would learn how to play music to songs we heard on the radio. I remember we learned Prince’s Raspberry Beret. We were so excited and thought we were so cool once we learned it (even though we didn’t say so out loud … just a look like yeah we did that).
So many great times and memories. Thank you my friend. Thanks for being a friend and thanks for being part of my journey. You’ll be missed. Until we see each other again, rest in peace Vonche.
God is interesting, the messages we receive through our lives. I have not spoken to Vonche since I was in the 9th grade in high school, we went to middle school together and he was a bright spot in my memories. Others saying he had a spirit and smile, I can tell you he was so great that a friend from so long ago would tell her sons about her funny and kind friend and go to Google his name to see what he is up to these days to sadly see he passed away.
It’s a message to reach out to the special ones because you never know when the opportunity to say, thank you for being a bright spot - Vonche was a special one and it seems he didn’t change by the comments others are making here.
God is so good and I know the recent memory was for a reason.

I will always remember Vonche’s beautiful smile. He could light up a room. The memories will heal our hearts.
