A Message from Our President
It is with a deep sense of loss that I write upon learning of the passing of Gary Hathaway.
In recent years, Gary has been a passionate advocate for girls’ softball in Lethbridge. If you have attended any of our games or tournaments, chances are you’ve seen him—and I hope you had the opportunity to get to know him. In every conversation, Gary expressed genuine excitement about our athletes and the progress they were making. His dedication was evident in the way he consistently made time for our organization, adjusting his schedule to ensure the girls always had the opportunity to play.
My connection with Gary spans decades—playing and coaching alongside his oldest son, coaching his younger son, and eventually working together to coach two championship teams. His smile was infectious, his commitment unwavering, and his love for youth sports undeniable. He will be deeply missed.
On behalf of myself and everyone at Lethbridge Minor Softball, we extend our heartfelt thoughts and condolences to his family.
I will miss you, my friend. As the season begins, I hope you’re stepping onto a field somewhere filled with the scent of freshly cut grass, hearing the excitement of young voices, the crack of bats, and the pop of gloves. I hope you know just how much you are already missed.
