Veterans Memorial High School is just one of the many organizations that Ram Chavez has given his time to, ensuring the school lives up to it's name, 'Veterans Memorial'.

KRIS6 News spoke with the Band Director and a student from VMHS about how they're handling the news. 

"We're worried because we know a heart attack is bad but we know Ram is a fighter and he'll pull through." said Devin Ritchie, football player at Veterans Memorial. Ritchie, who has known Ram for the last three years says he's always keeping the advice Ram would give to the players, close to him. 

Ritchie added, "He talked about staying in the fight, not giving up being by our brothers."  

To say Ram Chavez is passionate about honoring those who have served, is an understatement. Band Director Shawn Athey, at Veterans Memorial appreciates all that he's done to help their school and wish him well in his recovery.

Athey said, "He is an integral part of our campus and has been since day one. We'd definitely love to see him walk back through our doors soon."
