Clarke Ohman
On Thursday October 22nd 2020, we lost an amazing father, brother, son, friend, legend, warrior, and to some, even a hero.
Clarke Ohman, was an elite baseball player and a VMBA alumni. Clarke was a vital player in helping bring Vancouver Minor 2 Mosquito provincial banners, and helping the Pewee AA team to the Canadian Westerns. He was a member of VMBA from T-Ball up through Bantam. He then went on to the Premier Baseball League playing for both the Vancouver Cannons and Parksville Royals. Clarke was the ultimate competitor on and off the field. It didn't matter if you were playing sports or games, Clarke had to come out on top no matter what. Clarke was the kind of guy you loved on your team, and absolutely hated playing against.
Among the many accolades, Clarke received scholarships for baseball to schools in the state of Maine and Texas among some Canadian offers as well.
Clarke was only 25 and will be remembered and missed by many especially in the sports community.
Below is a GoFundMe link organized by Clarke's family and friends. The money raised will assist Clarke in completing his journey out of this world and into his next chapter.

Mel sadly past away Thursday July 19th.
He is survived by his wife Margaret, children & grandchildren.
Mel was a long time volunteer for Vancouver Minor Baseball , even before we were Vancouver Minor Baseball. Back in the 70's he even umpired at the park. During park event days he could be seen at the park first thing to help to set up.
When concession was very busy he would always step
in and give a hand.
In later years Mel was mostly known as VMB's 50/50 guy. He loved to talk & joke with the people while raising money for the association. For the longest time when you came to a game at the park you could hear 50/50!!!!
Mel also made the big time when he sold 50/50 tickets at the Canadians Games at Nat Bailey Stadium over the last few years.
In the winter Mel's volunteerism did not stop. During Victoria Drive Community Hall children's Christmas party, he played Santa every year.
He will be truly be missed by all that knew him. "Rest in Peace Mel".
It is with a heavy heart Vancouver Minor Baseball announces the passing of long time volunteer
