Community rallies to support local father, husband, coach

Steve Yamasaki

Stephen Yamasaki, a local softball player who suffered an aneurysm and massive stroke while playing a men’s softball game on Sept. 10 at the HMT Recreation Complex, is at a local hospital in intensive care and is expected to remain there for several months.

Unfortunately, Yamasaki was recently unemployed and has no health insurance. Anyone wishing to learn more about Yamasaki, his updated condition, and how they can donate to help cover his medical needs can go online to www.steveyamasaki.com.

Yamasaki, 41, has played on two adult softball teams through the Park District, and was a volunteer coach for the Cedar Mill Little League for the past six years. Yamasaki has a wife and two young sons.
