Our sincere condolences go out to the Witmer family during this tragic time. We will be praying for you all and the Bartow Youth Baseball community.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the tragic passing of Arya Witmer.

Arya was such a bright light whose smile and energy touched everyone around her. Arya spent many days and nights running around the ball field cheering her siblings and cousins on, or riding scooters with her friends up and down the park. The ball field was a second home to her. Her loss is felt deeply throughout our entire baseball community.

Our thoughts, prayers, and unwavering support are with the Witmer family during this unimaginable time. We ask our community to come together to lift them up with love, strength, and compassion in the days ahead.

Arya’s memory will forever remain a part of our park, our league, and our hearts. She will never be forgotten.

The Witmer family have been a huge part of Bartow Baseball for many years and helped shaped what it is today. We will be posting a Meal Train link/Donation link in the comments if you are able to contribute in some way. Above all else, please pray for this sweet family as they navigate through this difficult time.

Rest in peace, sweet angel 🪽🙏🏻

These Thunderbirds had a phenomenal week at Hitting Camp with Coach Gabe Grinder and the team at SEU Fire Athletics Baseball! Even better, they still have space available in the upcoming Skills Camp the week of 6/15.
