The service was beautifully officiated by His Grace Bishop Athenagoras, whose presence and prayers brought comfort to everyone in attendance.<br /><br />We also honored Nick’s remarkable vision and leadership—his dedication to creating opportunities for children not only through a basketball league for ages 7–12, but also through the JOY soccer league. His passion for giving kids a place to grow, play, and belong lives on through these programs.<br /><br />Players, coaches, families, and friends came together in a spirit of unity, sportsmanship, and remembrance. We thank everyone who joined us today and helped make the memorial truly meaningful.<br /><br />May the memory of Nicholas Kokinakis be eternal.
