The baseball community in Texas is mourning the untimely death of Denim Harris, a talented young athlete from Mansfield, Texas, who passed away suddenly. Denim, a Mansfield Timberview High School student and member of the Class of 2025, was known for his exceptional skills, sportsmanship, and kind heart that touched everyone around him.
Born and raised in Arlington, TX, Denim stood 5’8” tall and weighed 150 lbs, batting left and throwing right. He played as a second baseman and center fielder (2B/CF) — positions where his athleticism, quick instincts, and leadership truly shined. He represented Stix 2025 Prospects Grey and was a proud member of the Mansfield Timberview Wolves baseball team.
Described as a “phenomenal athlete and an even better person,” Denim had a bright future ahead. His passion for the game, combined with his humility and dedication, earned him admiration from coaches, teammates, and opponents alike. He had recently committed to Seminole State College to continue his baseball journey at the collegiate level, a dream that reflected his determination and love for the sport.
The heartbreaking news of his passing has left his loved ones and the baseball community devastated.
One family friend, Ida Marie, shared an emotional tribute:
“My heart is absolutely shattered… Denim passed away last night, and it just doesn’t feel real. He wasn’t just a family friend — he was family. Someone C3 looked up to and respected on and off the field. Denim was a phenomenal athlete and an even better person. Losing him at such a young age is beyond heartbreaking.”
Stix Baseball Club, where Denim played travel ball, expressed their grief in a statement:
“Our thoughts and prayers are with Denim Harris’ family, friends, teammates, and coaches. Denim was a phenomenal kid who touched the lives of many. Rest in peace, Denim.”
Five Tool Baseball, a respected youth baseball organization, also paid tribute:
“We are deeply saddened to hear about the sudden passing of Denim Harris. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and the Seminole State College and Stix Baseball ball clubs of which he last played for. Denim was a talented prospect who performed at a high level with a bright future ahead.”
Coach Toby Orr Coble wrote, “Prayers to the Trojans as they lost a teammate last night in an accident. And prayers for the family of Denim Harris. Life is so precious.”
Denim was remembered not only for his performance on the field but also for his radiant smile, humble spirit, and genuine kindness. He inspired many young athletes and left a lasting impression wherever he went.
As tributes continue to pour in, the Mansfield community stands together in grief and remembrance. His teammates and coaches have vowed to honor his legacy on and off the field — carrying forward his love for baseball and his uplifting attitude toward life.
“LLD4 Forever,” as many friends have shared, is more than just a tribute — it’s a reminder of the lasting impact Denim made in his short but meaningful life.
May his soul rest in eternal peace.
