💚 Vipers Family 💚
It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our founder, Shawn McKim, who went home to be with the Lord yesterday.
Shawn built the Eastern Iowa Vipers on more than baseball. He believed in faith, family, and giving kids a place to grow not only as athletes, but as young men and women surrounded by love, character, and support. His vision created a true family atmosphere one that has shaped this organization for 11 incredible years.
Shawn’s faith guided the way he led, coached, and cared for others. His legacy will live on in every player who steps onto the field, every lesson taught beyond the game, and every family forever changed by his heart.
We lift Shawn’s family in prayer and stand beside them with love, gratitude, and unwavering support.
“Well done, good and faithful servant.”
Rest in peace, Shawn. Thank you for everything. 💚⚾
