Like many parents, Richard and Pam Kendrick dedicated themselves to the passions of their children. Namely, baseball. It seemed little Steven came out swinging from the beginning. It wasn’t long before Kendrick (Richard) found himself coaching tournament-level youth baseball, taking both his son and daughter’s teams to national championships as they grew. Through it all, it was always Steven leading the way forward. This was true right up to his first year at college on a full scholarship, when the dream came crashing down in an instant.

At just 19 years old, Steven Stevo Kendrick had already made a name for himself within the baseball community. Having played competitive ball practically since he was big enough to swing a bat, Stevo was more than an athlete. He was a leader for his community and school, and the guiding light of his father’s life. Everyone knew he was destined to do big things.

Trying to make sense of it all, his father provides not only a beautiful memorial to his son’s memory, but help and advice for parents of young sports stars to remember what’s most important while pursuing the dream. Kendrick looks back on Steven’s life of excellence and draws out messages of hope, inspiration, and healing for sports families and parents suffering through the unique grief of losing a child.
