“#Pedro Gomez, beloved ESPN reporter, dead at 58<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

Longtime ESPN reporter Pedro Gomez died unexpectedly Sunday at the age of 58, the network announced.<\/p>\n

\u201cPedro was far more than a media<\/a> personality. He was a Dad, loving husband, loyal friend, coach and mentor,\u201d Gomez\u2019s family said in a statement. \u201cHe was our everything and his kids\u2019 biggest believer. He died unexpectedly at home this afternoon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gomez started at ESPN in 2003 and was a popular and beloved member of the network\u2019s baseball coverage. He had covered more than 25 World Series<\/a> and 22 All-Star Game<\/a>s, according to his company bio, while also playing a major role in ESPN\u2019s coverage of Barry Bonds\u2019 historic home run chase.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are shocked and saddened to learn that our friend and colleague Pedro Gomez has passed away,\u201d ESPN president James Pitaro said in a statement. \u201cPedro was an elite journalist at the highest level and his professional accomplishments are universally recognized. More importantly, Pedro was a kind, dear friend to us all. Our hearts are with Pedro\u2019s family and all who love him at this extraordinarily difficult time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gomez\u2019s cause of death was not immediately revealed. He is survived by his wife Sandra, sons Rio and Dante, and daughter Sierra. Rio is a pitcher in the Red Sox\u2019s organization.<\/p>\n

Tributes to Gomez came flooding in Sunday night on social media.<\/p>\n

More than an elite journalist, Pedro Gomez was a good and decent man, so proud of his family, and his heritage. His loss is a hammer blow to all who knew this life force. Send one up tonight for his family and friends.<\/p>\n

A husband, father, friend and respected colleague. So, so sad. Pedro was able to laugh at himself and make others laugh. A story teller whose friendship was a gift. A great teammate. Thoughts to his wife and children. Just awful news<\/a>. https:\/\/t.co\/hUSHKjzmDN<\/a><\/p>\n

Pedro was so, so proud of Rio. We were talking about him Friday. How hard Rio worked and how good he\u2019d gotten and how nasty his changeup had gotten. Pedro loved all his kids so much. He was just the best. https:\/\/t.co\/F4KCSzFNIJ<\/a><\/p>\n
