Thank you Coach Kern
Assistant Baseball Coach Jeff Kern passed away December 2024 unexpectedly leaving a hole for the Beaver Baseball team.
Monaca, PA – It is with heavy heart that the Penn State Beaver Athletics shares the news that assistant coach Jeff Kern has passed away over the winter break. Coach Kern had been with the team since August of 2024 and began making his impact on the team immediately. Though he was new to this team, he was not new to the game. He had a huge impact on the players and sport in Beaver County. Coach Kern spent time with Beaver Falls, Geneva, and Penn State Beaver as a coach, athletic trainer, and fan. Coach Kern left his impact on the team for the 2024-25 season and though he was not able to finish out the season, his team and fellow coaches respected him and will continue to honor his legacy.
The Penn State Beaver Athletics Department and the Penn State Beaver Baseball team send their blessings and prayers to the family and wish them peace during these tough times. Rest in peace Coach Kern, you will be missed and remembered, thank you for everything you’ve done.
