10 year old Xander Pond has passed



Xander Pond, an Omaha Vicious pro paintball player passed away on New Year's Eve day. He was 10 years old. His strength and courage will never be forgotten. Xander always told our team "NEGU" for Never Ever Give Up. His inspirational words will always be with us.



Xander was fighting his forth battle with cancer. During this time he held an annual "Strength for Xander Paintball Tournament" which raised funds to supply children in the hospital with toys for Christmas.



Though he faced so many challenges in his young life, he always had a positive attitude and a willingness to help others.



He will be missed.



His association with Team Vicious began many years ago as detailed in the post below on PbNation:



Quote: Xander is coming to cup...straight from chemo. Xander is on the Vicious pro roster as a player.



Make sure you keep an eye out for him and say hello. He will be with the Vicious team.



The week after cup he is hosting a paintball tournament and all the proceeds go to the children's hospital in NC to buy presents for the kids.



Such an inspirational story.





Just wondering if some of the guys could just post an uplifting message for this little guy. He and his family held a Charity Paintball tournament for Childhood Cancer back in the Fall to help celebrate his 1 year of remission.



He is fighting his disease and loves paintball. He gave all his birthday presents to the children's ward at the hospital to make their days brighter.



Xander is 8 years old.
