Delta College student athlete Will Wentworth died mid November. Wentworth, a pitcher on the baseball team, is survived by his family, friends and teammates.
“He was a really happy guy. I never saw him mad or down. Everytime I faced him, whether I would get a hit or he struck me out, we would find each other in the dugout and laugh about it.
He was really just a light-hearted good guy,” said teammate Park Romney.
Wentworth was also a left-handed pitcher on the Mustangs and loved every minute of playing.
“He was really good. When he was pitching he was on, he was one of the best pitchers on our rooster. A complete shutdown all the time,” said teammate Michael Monreal.
“Anytime I was around him he was always smiling. I can only remember him in good positive moods, always uplifting people. And just a really bright person all around,” said Monreal.
Wentworth was a strong, intelligent and committed student who was never seen not studying, reading or smiling.
“His smile. Just his smile. Always smiling. He’d come to the field with just his smile on his face,” said Head Coach Reed Peters. “He was a great student. A 4.0 student I believe. He had the world in front of him.”
Grief counseling was made available to the baseball team shortly after Wentworth’s passing and encouraged to anyone in need of support.
