Brunswick to honor former student with Herron Park
Brunswick High School and the Brunswick Athletic Foundation are raising funds to name the Brunswick softball and baseball complex Herron Park in memory of Josh Herron, a Brunswick student who died May 5 after battling cancer. Coach Joe Mackey recalls Herron as a top traveler program athlete and a key part of the 2016 senior class. The project adds an entrance, walkway, flag poles, landscaping, and a commemorative plaque to honor his memory and benefit future generations. Herron battled sarcoma as a freshman and later leukemia, yet remained active in sports and helped as a student assistant while playing for Mackey. Herron’s legacy extends to Medina and surrounding communities, with Mackey aiming to keep his name alive through the park.
