The family of former Oakland Athletics star Rickey Henderson has shared a heartwarming statement following his untimely passing this weekend.
Henderson, an MLB Hall of Famer who held multiple records, is dead at 65 after a battle with pneumonia, for which he had recently received treatment.
His widow, Pamela, and their daughters have since shared a heartwarming statement, bemoaning the loss and thanking everyone for the support they have received since Rickey’s passing.
“It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of my husband, Rickey Henderson,” they wrote in a statement published by the A’s. “A legend on and off the field, Rickey was a devoted son, dad, friend, grandfather, brother, uncle, and a truly humble soul. Rickey lived his life with integrity, and his love for baseball was paramount. Now, Rickey is at peace with the Lord, cherishing the extraordinary moments and achievements he leaves behind,” the family said in a statement.
“We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of love, support, and heartfelt memories from family, friends, and fans — all of which have brought immense comfort. We also extend our sincere gratitude to MLB, the Oakland A’s, and the incredible doctors and nurses at UCSF who cared for Rickey with dedication and compassion. Your prayers and kindness mean more than words can express.
“In this difficult time, we kindly ask for your respect and privacy as we adjust to life without Rickey, holding on to the legacy he left for all of us.
“With gratitude, Pamela Henderson and his daughters.”
