Warrenfeltz was friends with Nick Adenhart, a pitcher who was also from Williamsport High who made it to the Major Leagues to play for the Angels in 2009.

Warrenfeltz was shaken by that and had to deal with similar feelings again in the spring of 2012 when a player on his Williamsport team was killed in a car crash late in the season. Brendon Colliflower also was a very good pitcher but died in that car crash.
