Davis Schneider's mom Elena commemorates her firstborn son's death anniversary with a touching tribute

Davis Schneider became a sensation during the 2025 World Series between the Dodgers and Blue Jays. In Game 5, Schneider hit a homer on the first pitch of the game against Blake Snell.

Schneider's inclusion as the leadoff hitter had created some distaste, but his sister, Madeline, defended the decision. She even clapped back at a fan on X who criticized Schneider.

While Madeline and her youngest sister, Olivia, are among Schneider's biggest supporters, his closest sibling was Steven, who passed away in 2020.

On Thursday, Schneider's mother, Elena, shared a multisnap post on Instagram, commemorating Steven's fifth death anniversary. The snaps were of Steven as a toddler to that of a young man. Most snaps featured Steven with his siblings.

"To my beloved son, Steven!! Five years ago today, you took your last journey to your eternal home and peaceful home in Heaven!! I miss you more than words could ever express, however, I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE!!! Besides forever in my heart, and in the hearts of Madeline, Olivia, Davis and Dad, you are missed by so many friends!!!!! Your compassion and kindness are unmatched!!!" she wrote in the caption.

Elena pointed out that Schneider and his sisters are striving to be their best versions of themselves, taking inspiration from their deceased brother. She also wrote that many times in her life, she is reminded of Steven, from his birthdate on a license plate to a receipt.

"I am so grateful for these blessings, and I’m so grateful that I am given the honor and privilege of being your Mom!!!! I love you so much!!!! I miss you so much!!!! Waiting for the day when I can see you again, until then, I will appreciate and treasure the Godwinks!!!! #Always4," she concluded the caption.

The Schneider family grew up in New Jersey and were hardcore Philadelphia Phillies fans. However, Steven supported the Boston Red Sox. Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz were his favorite sluggers.

Davis Schneider penned an emotional tribute after Steven's death

Davis Schneider's older brother, Steven, was born on April 25, 1994. Steven passed away on November 5, 2020. His death had a profound impact on Schneider.

A couple of days after his brother's death, Schneider shared a multisnap post on his Instagram. The snaps on the post ranged from the brothers as kids to young adults.

"Dear Steven, never in my worst nightmare would I be typing these words. You were my role model, my mentor, my big brother, and my best friend. You lit up every room you walked in and always had a smile on your face that made everyone around you feel special," Schneider wrote in the caption.

The Blue Jays slugger proudly stated that Steven never fought him, which many older siblings do to their younger ones. He praised his brother's character and thanked him for making him a better person.

"We were supposed to grow old together and have our kids play ball together. There won’t be a second that goes by where I won’t think about you. Each and everyday will be for you and I wish I could of said I love you one last time," he added.

Davis Schneider concluded the message by writing that the world lost a great son, brother, and friend, and believed that Steven will be watching over him.
