Bill Pritchard: A Loving Father's Impact

Hi, my name is Mirosalva Olguin, and I have created this GoFundMe account in support of my sister and her children, Milania and Blake, after the sudden and heartbreaking loss of their father.

It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we share the sudden and unexpected passing of a beloved father, William Pritchard, on May 17, 2025. The loss of a father leaves an indescribable void in the hearts of his children. The heartbreak of losing him so suddenly is overwhelming, yet his kindness continues to serve as a guiding light for his children and all who loved him.

Bill was not only an incredible coach but also an unwavering father whose love and dedication touched every aspect of his involvement in the Lakewood Little League. His commitment to his two children, Milania and Blake, and to their teams went far beyond the dugout. It was a testament to his constant devotion as a father, always striving to provide them with the best possible experience. He devoted his time, energy, and heart to the game, thereby ensuring that every player felt supported, encouraged, and valued. Whether it was early morning practices, late-night game strategies, or simply cheering from the sidelines, Bill made sure Milania and Blake always felt supported. His passion for baseball was rooted in something deeper: the joy of watching his children grow, learn, and forge lifelong friendships through the sport he loved. Above all, Bill was a dedicated father whose children will forever carry his love and encouragement with them.

In the wake of this tragedy, our family has come together to support and honor his legacy. We are raising funds to secure the future that Bill worked so hard to build for his children, while also supporting Dora, a devoted and loving mother, ensuring that she can be fully present for the children as they grieve, adapt, and continue to pursue their goals.

Any contribution or prayer will make a meaningful impact in helping this family find stability, healing, and hope for the future.

Rest in peace, Bill, a father, a mentor, and an irreplaceable part of our family and the Lakewood Little League community. You will always be remembered and deeply missed.

Thank you for your love, compassion, and support.

The Olguin Family
