The Winnipeg Goldeyes are mourning the loss of a former teammate.

Glenn Bott, 36, died on Saturday night when his ATV rolled over. He pitched for the Goldeyes during the 2006 and 2007 seasons, and even got married in the ballpark.

The Winnipeg Goldeyes confirmed his death in a tweet Tuesday.

He is survived by his wife, Cosette Dorge, and their two young children.

Richard Dorge, a relative of Bottthrough marriage, described him as a "really loved guy" in an interview with Radio-Canada.

"He was a very generous guy, very nice, all the good qualities," Dorge said.

The Dorge-Bott family was also the face of the Radio-Canada's Mdiathon in 2016.
