Danny Sickles 20, a right-handed pitcher at Missouri Southern University, formerly of Polk Community College and Freedom High School in Orlando, FL, passed away on Saturday February 21, 2008. Danny fought flu-like symptoms last week and passed away at home. Doctors said he had bacterial infection known as meningococ cemia, the same bacteria that cause bacteria meningitis.
Bacteria Meningitis is a serious infection that can be deadly and strike quickly, but is preventable with a vaccine. Teenagers and college students are particularly vulnerable.
Danny will be buried in his Missouri Southern uniform, with a baseball signed by his teammates. Rest in peace Danny.
Do your child a favor. Get him or her vaccinated.
