Boating Accident Julia Budzinski (Teenage daughter of Toronto Blue Jays’ first base coach dead)

Daughter of first-base coach Mark (Bud) Budzinski, Julia Budzinski, 17, was died while tubing in Virginia over the weekend.

Two girls went off a tube being pushed behind a boat on the James River on Saturday, according to a statement from Paige Pearson, a spokesperson for the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources.

The boat encountered a wave and was forced on top of a 17-year-old girl, striking her with the propeller as the boat operator returned to pull them out of the sea.

At a vigil held at Julia Budzinski’s high school in Virginia on Sunday night, Monica Budzinski, who claims to have been on the boat with her daughter, said, “It was a very pleasant, wonderful last day on earth for her.” “Sadly, of course… However, it was joyful, humorous, and enjoyable, and that is how I will remember her and how everyone else should remember her. She adored everything—life, the outdoors, sports, everything.

She will continue to exist through all of you.

Pearson said there is no evidence of wrongdoing. Alcohol was not a factor, and life jackets were worn.
