The Pennsville community is mourning the heartbreaking loss of Roy Mendez, a 2019 graduate of Pennsville Memorial High School, who tragically passed away following a motorcycle accident.

Roy was more than just a proud alumnus – he was a beloved member of the Pennsville Baseball program, remembered as a dedicated teammate, friend, and father. His sudden passing has left family, friends, and former teammates in deep sorrow, struggling to come to terms with the devastating news.

Messages of grief and remembrance have poured in from across the community. Teammates and close friends recall Roy as someone who always carried a bright spirit and an unmatched passion for the game, but more importantly, as a person who valued friendship, loyalty, and family above all else. Many reflected on the shock of having just spoken with him days before his passing, describing the pain of losing someone so full of life and promise.

“Words can’t explain this one. A great friend gone way too soon. I’m grateful we got to grow up together, to share memories, and to spend time working side by side these last few weeks,” one friend shared.

The Pennsville Baseball family is asking the community to keep Roy’s children and his loved ones in their thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time. His memory will live on in the countless lives he touched, the friendships he built, and the love he gave so freely.

Though gone far too soon, Roy Mendez’s impact will never be forgotten. His friends, teammates, and community will forever carry his memory in their hearts.

Fly high, brother. You will be missed beyond words.
