❤️🖤 BACA BIRTHDAY WOD 🖤❤️
On Friday, October 2, we’ll come together to celebrate the life and legacy of Anthony “Baca” Baca
Anthony started coaching at CrossFit Blade in 2016 and quickly became one of everybody’s favorites. In 2019, he was diagnosed with Stage 4 Mantle Cell Lymphoma. After treatment and a stem cell transplant, he reached remission before the lymphoma returned in 2021. Through it all, Baca fought with incredible strength, dignity, and that unmistakable smile. The Lord called Anthony home on April 28, 2022, but his memory and impact live on.
This Friday, we’ll celebrate him the way he would’ve wanted:
🖤❤️ Wear BLACK + RED, Baca memories + West Coast Wednesday music and a great workout with our community.
Former CrossFit Blade members — if you knew Baca and want to come celebrate with us, we’d love to have you there. This is for everyone who loved and knew him.
Happy Birthday, Baca.
