Support Justin Wiebe's Family After Tragic Loss

It is with heavy hearts that we share the sudden passing of Justin Wiebe, who died surrounded by family on March 13th. Justin fought courageously after experiencing an unknown tear in his aortic valve, which supplies blood to the liver. Despite emergency efforts to save him, his organs were unable to sustain the necessary function. For someone so young who lived a healthy lifestyle, this is a shocking and unexpected tragedy that could not have been detected or prevented, making his passing even more devastating to his family and our community.

Justin dedicated his life to his family and community, but his greatest joy was being a dad. His children, Peyton (age 14) and Sutter (age 11), were his world. Watching them thrive, supporting their many passions, and seeing them grow into the incredible young people they are mattered most to him. He poured his heart into every moment with them, whether it was cheering from the audience at a dance recital, playing catch and doing batting practice at the baseball field, raising animals for 4-H, throwing the most festive holiday parties (in a themed sweater and matching sneakers, of course), or simply sharing in the everyday joys of life.

Justin’s impact on our baseball community as President of the Central Coast Little League and Baseball Players Association (BPA) nonprofit boards was immeasurable. He dedicated countless hours to ensuring every child had the opportunity to play, learn, and grow through baseball. His leadership, kindness, and unwavering dedication touched many lives, and his presence will be deeply missed.

As we mourn this tragic loss, we also rally around Heather, Peyton, Sutter, and Justin’s family and friends. In Justin's honor and recognition of his unwavering commitment to his family, we are initiating a GoFundMe to help ease the unexpected financial burden of medical expenses, including ambulance transportation, emergency surgery, and hospital care. Anything additional will go toward Peyton and Sutter’s college funds, supporting them in pursuing the dreams their father believed in so sincerely. There is nothing Justin would want more than for his children to chase their goals and continue to be active in the sports and activities they love.
