Sad club news - Daryl Grove has passed away
Fri 23rd October 2020
RCFC family,
It is with great sadness that we announce that long-time RCFC player and friend, Daryl Grove, has passed away yesterday evening 10/22, surrounded by his wife Shannon and family.
His friend, business partner and fellow RCFC player, Taylor Rockwell, shared the news via their 'Total Soccer Show' Twitter post and podcast (links below). Please take time to listen to it (7 mins), and consider donating to his family for the costs they've endured. Also follow the TSS show if you aren't already.
Daryl had courageously been fighting cancer for the last 2 years and seemed to have made improvements but then it came back.
He's been an inspiration on the field - with RCFC and RVA Street soccer - but he's also been a catalyst off the field - for soccer in the US through his podcasts and partnership with Taylor. Daryl's impact on so many lives is obvious from the outpouring of love through their TSS Twitter feed, and elsewhere including condolences from US Soccer.
We ask you all to take time to remember Daryl and learn more about his legacy.
Also keep Taylor in your thoughts who has shown great strength during all this time, but will benefit from everyone's support going forward.
RCFC will share more news about memorials and services as we hear about them.
Also feel free to share your thoughts, memories on the RCFC Facebook page.
Sincerely - the family of RCFC

Daryl and Taylor - RCFC Copa 2017
As many of you are aware now, longtime player and club member Daryl Grove has been diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer that has spread to his liver. Daryl has already successfully undergone two separate surgeries, but has more medical procedures ahead of him. While he is currently recuperating at home, Daryl will be undergoing chemotherapy in the future to treat the cancer remaining on his liver. He remains in good spirits, so keep sending Daryl positive vibes as his treatment progresses!
In order to assist Daryl with his medical bills, one of his friends has setup a GoFundMe where people can donate if they so chose. RCFC raised $700 at this past Copa Navidad and the RCFC board has donated the Copa proceeds to Daryl's GoFundMe page. The board appreciates everyone coming out, so a HUGE thank you to everyone who supported this important club event and enabled RCFC to help out one of our own players. If you would like to make an individual donation to Daryl's GoFundMe campaign, please do so by using the following link: https://www.gofundme.com/team-daryl-grove
The board wishes all RCFC teams good luck on the upcoming Spring CVSA season!
Cheers,
RCFC Board
