Josiah Viera's life might've been short, but his impact was large beyond measure.
The inspirational Cardinals fan passed away on Monday, according to his family on Twitter.
Josiah suffered from Hutchinson-Guilford Progeria, a genetic condition that increased how fast a person ages.
He was just 14 years old.
Josiah was a staple around the State College Spikes, a minor league team for the Cardinals based in State College, Pennsylvania. He was even named an honorary bench coach for the team.
Josiah also became close with many members of the Cardinals major league roster.
