Joe Valentino was the kind of man every community is blessed to have - a devoted father, a longtime baseball coach, and someone who showed up for everyone. He poured his heart into the kids he coached, encouraged every player who crossed his path, and was a steady, positive presence in our community for years.

Four months ago, the Valentino family suffered the devastating loss of Mrs. Valentino, and now, with Joe’s passing from sudden cardiac arrest, their children are left without both of their parents. These kids have endured a lot in such a short time.

We are starting this GoFundMe to support the Valentino children with immediate needs, future expenses, and to show them that the community their parents loved so deeply will now rally around them. Any amount helps, and all support - financial or prayerful - means the world during this incredibly difficult time.

Thank you for honoring Joe’s memory and helping the Valentino family.
