The family of Chase Childers, a former professional baseball player and police officer with the Cobb County Police Department in Georgia, is asking for prayers after he drowned Sunday while trying to save five others from drowning on Pawleys Island in South Carolina. He was 38.

“Words are hard to find at this moment. We deeply appreciate all the prayers, love, and support as our family, particularly his wife and three children, attempt to navigate life without Chase,” Jordan Hester Wicker wrote in a statement on Facebook on behalf of Childers’ family on Tuesday.

Childers played for North Cobb Christian High School and Georgia State Universitybefore he was picked up by the Baltimore Orioles in 2009, WMBF News reported. He later played in the Baltimore Orioles’ minor league system, according to Major League Baseball.
