Wingnuts bench coach loses battle with cancer
The Wichita Wingnuts are mourning the loss of the organization's bench coach, Brian Rose, who died early Thursday at the age of 34, following a three-year battle with stage 4 melanoma.
In an emailed statment, Wingnuts' General manager Josh Robertson said, "It is with a very heavy heart that we have to say goodbye to one of our own. Brian Rose inspired so many people with the way he handled this disease, and I hope that anyone who had the chance to meet him looks at life in a much different way. He fought this battle to the very end with such a positive attitude, and it is a shame that his life was taken from us so early. He will be greatly missed, but our memories of him will live on."
Rose leaves behind his wife, Lupe, to whom he was married last April.
