Don’t worry, your wife will be taken care of by your sweet family,” the fan added. “We believe that one day, you will guide your friends and Angels’ family to a better place. Thank you very much for being so nice to Shohei, we sincerely appreciate your friendship.”

“Hi, my name is Brandon and I’m a 13 year old boy from so cal. I’ve grown up and always will be an angels fan. The minute I saw @tskaggs45 I love to watch him pitch,” one other young fan posted. “Then, I saw him get hurt which was a bummer but when I found out he passed away I was devastated. You are an amazing person @tskaggs45 . You will always be an idle to me. RIP.”
