A few days late on catching this, but I do not believe it has been posted previously. Condolences to the WIU athletic program and the family of Devin VanBrooker. Loss of life at such a young age is just not natural and my thoughts to those who knew this Leatherneck.


MACOMB, Ill. - Devin VanBrooker (Plymouth, Ill./Southeastern HS/College of Lake County), a member of the Western Illinois University baseball team, died from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident Tuesday night (May 4) in Macomb.

VanBrooker was 21 years old. Funeral arrangements are pending.

Born on January 19, 1989, VanBrooker was the son of Daniel and Susan VanBrooker, with one brother, Tony. He signed with the Fighting Leathernecks baseball team last summer after playing his first two years at the College of Lake County.
