Hundreds of Friar faithfuls gathered at Petco Park on Saturday for a memorial service to honor the memory of Peter Seidler, former San Diego Padres owner and philanthropist. Seidler made a significant impact with his philanthropic work, particularly in service to San Diego's homeless population.
Seidler passed away in November of 2023 after a cancer diagnosis. One by one his colleagues, Padres family and close friends paid tribute by sharing their favorite memories of Seidler."It's actually my favorite memory of Peter and how I picture him in my mind when I think of him. Arms stretched to the sky, hands balled in tight fists yelling, 'WE SLAYED THE DRAGON!' When the Padres beat the Dodgers in 2022," said Stephanie Kilkenny, Co-founder of the Lucky Duck Foundation.
"I miss you every day. I will always remember all our conversations, long night talks, having a drink beyond the lines. It was more than just baseball for Peter," said Manny Machado of the San Diego Padres. The celebration of Seidler's life made one thing clear: His lasting legacy and the impact he's had on countless San Diegans will never be forgotten.news
