In Loving Memory of Victor Manuel Chavez

Victor graduated from King City High School in 1977, where he proudly played football for the King City Mustangs. He later attended Hartnell College.

A lifelong sports enthusiast, Victor made a lasting impact on King City through his passion for soccer. At just 15 years old, he and his cousins created the first adult recreational soccer team in King City. He later helped establish and coach the first King City Youth Soccer team and went on to create and coach the first girls’ soccer team at King City High School. He also enjoyed coaching his four sons in youth soccer and Little League.

Victor worked for Basic Vegetables for 25 years before serving as a Community Service Officer with the Greenfield Police Department, where he managed the Youth Explorer Program. Through the program, he provided young people with opportunities to participate in community events, develop new skills, broaden their horizons, and discover possibilities beyond their expectations.

Victor lived life to the fullest. Known for his vibrant personality and infectious energy, he was often the life of the party and never hesitated to take over the dance floor. He also cherished spending time with his friends, playing cards and watching softball games at the city park across the street from his home. These simple moments of friendship, laughter, and togetherness brought him great joy. He brought happiness, laughter, and unforgettable memories to every gathering.

Above all, Victor was devoted to his family. He is survived by his beloved wife, Norma Galindo; his four sons, Michael, Carlos, Mark, and Nicholas; his grandchildren, Jacoby and Izaiah; his brothers, Adalberto Chavez, Gerardo Chavez, Oscar Reyes; and his sister, Adela Colon. He also leaves behind numerous nieces and nephews.
