Support Steve Fox's Family in Tough Times

It is with great sadness that we share with our great community that Steve Fox has passed away.

Steve was a giant in the Los Altos baseball community. While his son Jack is only 14, Steve has been a coach to sons and daughters of Los Altos families for 20 teams. Steve was a coach from Tee Ball to Juniors over nine seasons and Fall Ball for three. He coached five All Star teams, as well as a "travel ball" team of exclusively Los Altos Little League players for three seasons.

Steve literally gave his heart and soul to Los Altos Little League. Three years ago, while coaching in the Majors playoffs, he had a cardiac arrest on the field, collapsing in front of his son who was standing on third base. He returned for two more years of Juniors and all star teams.

The board decided that the batting cages at Purissima Park where Steve and Jack spent so much time, will bare Steve's name in his honor. Steve leaves behind his beloved partner Jen, his daughter Zoe, and son Jack. If your child was a part of one of those 20 teams, you were inspired by relentless positivity, calmed by his even keel demeanor, or impressed by his commitment to baseball and the Los Altos community, please let Steve's family know how much he meant to you and the community. We have set up a Go Fund Me page in his honor. Please share your favorite memories of Steve, and if you're comfortable, consider a donation to Steve's family.

Steve himself would never mention it, but the reality of the situation, compels us to share. Steve had been out of work for the last year. Because of his pre-existing heart condition, they didn't have insurance. Jen has been out of the workforce for years, but that will have to change quickly. We all can imagine how daunting a situation that must be. Add in the stress of having to figure out how to pay for significant medical bills, funeral costs, college tuition, and rent while grieving, Steve's family can use all the help they can get.

Sincerely,

Henry Lee & Chris Hamby
