Today is a tough day for many in our Lancer community. One of our long time track and cross country coaches, Mr. Guy Poncy, died yesterday afternoon after working out at Peters Canyon. Coach Poncy and his wife had two daughters that graduated from Orange Lutheran and had been a part of the Orange Lutheran family as a coach, substitute teacher, and parent for many years.
He was a man who had a passion for the Lord. His love for Jesus was evident to all he encountered. Coach Poncy rode his bike many days at practice and at meets. His love for the students here at Orange Lutheran was very evident. His email address was run4him2@socal.rr.com . The him was Jesus.
It is hard when someone we know and care for leaves this earth. Knowing Coach Poncy, he would say that the tears today should not be for him, for he is enjoying the promises that he believed in his life. He knows today that God is faithful and His words are true.
Coach Poncy was a man of great character, and one that will be missed by many including his wife and daughters. Let’s take a moment and ask God for His peace and comfort to all who mourn the end of his earthly life today.
Please join me in prayer.
Heavenly Father,
We thank you for your servant, Guy Poncy, for his faith and witness to those who were placed in his life. We thank you for his faith and model to us while he was with us and know that he is now with you claiming Your free gift of eternal life.
Bless his wife Rennetta and daughters Tiffany and Kristie as they miss their husband and father. Give them that peace that surpasses all understanding, and surround them with people who will comfort them with your love and care.
For our students and staff I also ask for that peace and comfort as well Lord. I thank you for faithfulness and for the eternal life we received when Your Son died and rose again for our sins.
All these things we lay before His throne. To You alone be the glory.
