For those of you who follow the sport triple jumper Lejuan Simon passed early last week of a heart condition at the age of 27 and today is his funeral. Lejuan represented Trinidad & Tobago in the Olympics in 2004 and was a former national champion at LSU and Barton Community College. It’s never easy when you hear that someone has passed on. I didn’t know him personally, but I know people who do and he will be truly missed. Lejuan was a great competitor and from what I hear a great person that I never got a chance to meet. My prayers go out to his family and friends. God Bless.
