Harrison was diagnosed with colon cancer in October 2022, his sister, Morgan Harrison, told Storyful.

Following his diagnosis, Brendan Harrison immediately entered surgery to remove a cancerous mass, the media source reported.

On that Monday when they arrived to the treatment center, the Bay City Western Baseball team tweeted photos alongside Harrison, who also known as "Coach Bubba."

"Whole team there to support him," the post read, in part. "Love ya Bubba!"
