Dylan Cease’s Parents Supported Him In Achieving His Baseball Dreams
Born on December 28, 1995, in Milton, Georgia, United States, Dylan Edward Cease, 29, was raised by his father, Jeff Cease, and his mother, Anne Cease.
Jeff and Anne always supported Dylan in pursuing his baseball career.
As per the reports, his father, Jeff, played high school football.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dylan and his father, Jeff, took up their hobby of beekeeping.
They drove 20 minutes to a plot of land on Jeff’s brother’s property. There, they found their hives ready for harvest.
Jeff and Dylan donned their full beekeeping suits. A few hours later, the process was completed, and they had approximately 50 pounds of honey.
Now, Jeff mostly takes the lead, while Dylan manages the inventory, distributing it to friends, family, and teammates.
On the other hand, Dylan’s mother, Anne, has avoided the media spotlight, so little is known about her personal life.
Dylan also shared a close bond with his grandmother, Betty Cease, and his grandfather, Harold Cease.
As per the source, his grandmother played professional baseball.
Tragically, Betty died on April 23, 2009, at 79. She was buried at Lakeside Memorial Park.
