Tyler Jeck will forever be remembered as a Wildcat
BALDWIN CITY, Kan. – He always smiled everywhere he went. He was an individual of character and integrity.
Tyler Jeck, 19, and a sophomore-to-be at Baker, was the epitome of class. He was a pre-med major and a member of the Baker baseball team.
“It could’ve been the worst day he has ever had and he would always carry a smile on his face,” said teammate Remmington Pinnick. “He was determined to become a doctor and there was nothing in the world that would’ve stopped him. He had that special never-give-up attitude.”
No. 32 on the baseball team, Jeck played in 11 games his freshman year but made a lasting impact.
