It is not easy to say goodbye to someone close to you. Death is an inevitable bitter truth of human life. And, recently, the son of legendary boxer Evander Holyfield has had to deal with the unexpected passing of someone who played an important role in his life. Eleazar Evan Holyfield, who followed the path of his legendary father, is a professional boxer himself and has a boxing record of 9 wins and one loss and he is probably destined to become the ‘next big thing’ in boxing.

Recently, Evan Holyfield received the devastating news of the passing of a football coach from his high school. Cepada Cloud was an influential figure for many students in his high school. His loss was a shock to many who knew him and saddened his students and the administration of the high school. Holyfield took to Instagram and posted two Instagram stories to remember the life of Coach Cloud. In his story, he wrote, “Rest easy, Coach Cloud, you definitely touched and influenced many lives while you were here in the right way.”

Here’s how the fans and Evan Holyfield paid their respect to Coach Cloud

Evan reshared a post on WhiteWaterathletic‘s Instagram page announcing the death of his beloved mentor and teacher. The coach is remembered for his “larger than life” personality and “love for those around him.” Cepalda Cloud was not only a football coach and a teacher. He was an artist who like to spend his time creating art pieces. And we can still find many of his art pieces on the Fine Art America website.

One user remembered the life of the Coach and how he always used to smile. He commented, “Heartbreaking news, Coach Cloud Always had a smile, he will be Truly missed!!!” Another user talked about how he was always respectful to his peers. She commented, “Best Human Being!!! Great Coach..loved by all…and he loved everyone…..will truly be missed but leaves an everlasting impact..knew how to treat his fellow man…”
