From one little league to another, our hearts pour out to this little boy’s family, his teammates and his coaches. There are no words for a loss of a little boy, who touched the lives of many.
From our hearts out in Meriden to those in East Haven, we’re thinking of you all.
Rest Easy, Cooper! You’ll always be #1!
💔 There are no words for a loss like this.
Today, our Little League family is heartbroken beyond words as we mourn the tragic loss of one of our own.
This picture is how we want to remember him — on the ballfield, in his uniform, playing the game he loved. A little boy doing what little boys are supposed to do: playing baseball, making memories, and being part of a team.
He wasn’t just a player on a roster. He was a teammate. He was part of a team, a coach’s dugout, a family’s ballpark memories, and a Little League community that loved watching him grow.
The ballfield will feel different without him.
There will be an empty spot in the dugout. An empty place on the field. And a space in our Little League family that can never truly be filled.
We know there are no words that can ease the pain his family is experiencing right now. We can only surround them with love, support, and the knowledge that he will always be remembered as one of ours.
To his teammates: hold onto the memories.
To his coaches: hold onto the moments.
To his family: please know that your Little League family is grieving with you and standing beside you.
Today, and always, we will remember him right where he belongs — on the baseball field. ⚾️💙💛
Rest peacefully. You will always have a place in our dugout. 💔⚾️
