John Panko #11 

1961 - 2023

 

We are mourning the loss of longtime NIMBL member John Panko of the Pirates. John has been part of the league for 15+ seasons. 

 

John passed after a long 2 year battle, but he is now finally at peace.  John fought hard as he aways had in life, or on the ballfield. His time came on 1/17/23 to hang up his cleats and be with his Lord.   November 11, 1961 - January 17, 2023.

 

John is survived by his loving wife Kerry and their 6 year old son, John, IV. John truly loved playing baseball and spent the last 15+ years in our NIMBL building friendships and setting the example of what a true "teammate" is, all while winning multiple championships.  John was our friend, teammate, and brother.
