sAN ANTONIO – His playful, easygoing personality made him an easy pick to be a student’s favorite coach.
But 35-year-old Jacob Sanchez was also an inspiration, a leader and an innovator that made him so likable to those he worked with at Devine Middle School.
On Thursday, Sanchez collapsed at the start of class and staff members conducted CPR.
The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office reports he died of a heart attack. On Friday, the Devine community gathered for a vigil before the start of school and school counselors were available to help students cope.
Principal Kandi Darnell was with him just minutes before he collapsed.
“He seemed fine and everything seemed fine,” she said.
