Dear LAYB Families,
It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Stephanie Gracia, a cherished member of our Los Alamitos Youth Baseball community. Stephanie courageously battled colorectal cancer since 2022, showing incredible strength and resilience throughout her fight.
Over the past few years, Stephanie and her family have been part of the LAYB family both on and off the field. Her warmth, positivity, and unwavering love for her children and community touched so many of us. On October 9th, Stephanie passed away peacefully with her husband Jacob by her side.
Stephanie’s journey was one of tremendous courage. Even through the hardest moments, she never lost her smile or her spirit — always showing up for her family and inspiring those around her.
As our community comes together to support the Gracia family during this unimaginably difficult time, we invite you to contribute to a GoFundMe campaign that has been created to help with expenses and provide support for Jacob and their children.

With heartfelt sympathy,
