It is with a heavy heart and deep sadness that we announce the tragic loss of Owen Pagano, a cherished member of both the Cibola and Cleveland baseball families. Owen passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind a profound void in the lives of his friends, family, teammates, and community.

Owen, who had spent many years dedicated to the Cibola baseball program, was not just a player; he was a cornerstone of the team. His passion for the game, commitment to his teammates, and hard work on and off the field made him a respected figure among his peers. Owen’s dedication was evident in his continued success and growth as an athlete, and his decision to transition to play for Cleveland baseball was a testament to his drive and determination.

Throughout his journey, Owen’s influence went beyond the game. He was known for his leadership, positivity, and the infectious energy he brought to every practice, game, and interaction. His impact on those around him is immeasurable, and his absence will be felt by all who knew him.

His untimely passing has left the Cibola community and the broader baseball family in mourning. The loss of such a bright, talented young man has shaken us all. As we grieve this heartbreaking tragedy, we remember Owen for the many lives he touched and the legacy he leaves behind in the hearts of those who had the privilege to know him.

Our thoughts and deepest condolences go out to Owen’s family, friends, and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time. The Cibola and Cleveland baseball communities, along with everyone who had the honor of working with Owen, will forever hold his memory dear.

Owen’s legacy lives on in the lessons he taught us: to work hard, support one another, and always give our best. While his time with us was far too short, the impact he made will last a lifetime. Rest in peace, Owen. You will never be forgotten. #OwenPagano #InLovingMemory #CibolaBaseball #ClevelandBaseball
