The tribute was led by Mimy and Brad Rollman, who shared heartfelt memories of their children. Brad described his son as “two bundles of fun,” highlighting Carson’s athleticism and humor. He also mentioned how Carson was the only one in the family who appreciated his dad jokes. Mimy added that Annika would often come back with witty remarks, showing her sharp personality.
The ceremony featured several meaningful moments, including a ceremonial first pitch, a moment of silence, and Mimy singing the national anthem and “God Bless America.” Despite the emotional weight of the occasion, the family emphasized that the event was meant to be a celebration of life rather than a somber gathering.
“We don’t want this to be a sad, gloomy night. Like we are just here to party and to celebrate them,” Mimy said, capturing the spirit of the tribute.

Carson’s baseball team attended the event, wearing number 26 in his honor. Jaxon Hoover, a teammate, shared his memories of Carson. “He was a great teammate, fun to have around, a big part of the team, family basically,” he said, reflecting the strong bond between teammates.
Mimy also shared a powerful message for parents, urging them to cherish every moment with their children. “Just treasure every moment. Parents out there. I know parenting is tough, but honestly, like, the years are so short, and I wish I could go back and just hug them one more time. So just love on your kids tonight for me to see,” she said.
The event not only honored the Rollman family but also served as a reminder of the importance of cherishing life and the people we love. It highlighted the strength of the community and the deep connections formed through shared experiences.
