“The Cubs organization is grateful for the continued support of Cubs fans and their expression of compassion during this difficult time,” said Cubs President of Business Operations Crane Kenney said in a statement. “Beyond his family, Ryno’s great loves were spending time with teammates and other Cubs players and interacting with Cubs fans. We hope this public tribute provides everyone touched by Ryne’s incredible talent as a player and person an opportunity to honor his legacy and pay their respects.”

In lieu of flowers, the Sandberg family has asked participating fans to bring a nonperishable food item to Gallagher Way which will be donated to Nourishing Hope and Most Blessed Trinity Food Pantry.
