Carlsbad City Council Approve Renaming Of Field
Posted: July 21, 2009

Carlsbad City Council approves the renaming of Poinsettia Field 1 to Thorp Field.

Mitchell has been watching down on this project from the first day that it came to us to honor our son with the naming of a ball field for him. We are excited and anxious to launch the Mitchell Thorp Foundation to help other children and families with severe illness. Along with a perpetual scholarship fund to help underprivileged children play baseball that will support LCYO and CYB and along with a “Mitchell Thorp” award honored to one player that demonstrates outstanding citizenship and baseball talent.

We will keep you updated on the dedication ceremony of the field.

Final Journey
Posted: November 19, 2008

Joshua 1:9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”

In the early hours of November 19, 2008 Mitchell Thorp’s strength and courage lead him in a new direction, on a new journey with our Lord . . . one without pain, burden, or uncertainty. He fought for almost 5 years to the very end and left this world on his and the Lord's terms. He is survived by his mother and father, Beth and Brad, and his brother, Matthew, along with his two grandmothers, Carole Thorp and Elizabeth Bobek, many aunts and uncles and cousins, and an incredibly supportive community, all who loved him dearly. Mitchell will be honored and celebrated at North Coast Calvary Church on Thursday, December 4th from 4 to 6pm at 1330 Poinsettia Lane, Carlsbad, CA 92011, 760-929-0029. A private family burial will take place on Friday. Contributions may be made to the Mitchell Thorp Fund at US Bank, 1074 North El Camino Real, Encinitas, CA 92024. Flowers are welcome. Please join us for a reception immediately following the service.

We invite you to leave a message on the Message Board.
