ICONIC: Our hearts are heavy today with the news that over the weekend, we lost one of our very best. Richard Van Wieren, longtime educator, administrator and football coach at Beaverton Schools, retired more than three decades ago, but his imprint on our kids, our school and our community carries so much impact that even today, generations later, an acute sadness hung in the air as word of Coach Van’s passing spread across campus. For those of us who knew him - and there are so, so many - there’s an endless string of adjectives to describe what he meant to our school: Caring, tough, friendly, fair, kind…the list goes on and on. But there’s one word that beats them all: Respected. Coach Van earned respect from so many people he encountered in his days in Beaverton that it seems impossible to find somebody who didn’t hold him in the highest regard as a coach, teacher and friend. It’s rare when the myth matches the man, but Coach Van was that guy, in every sense of the expression. Our thoughts are with his wife Donna and their extended family - which today feels like everybody in the community - at this challenging time. His reach was long, his influence was profound, and his shadow looms large. He was truly one-of-one, a great man. And he will not be forgotten. Rest easy, Coach; we'll meet you in the end zone. #BeavertonAlways
