Jazmine Myles

A member of Texas State's Athletic Training staff recently passed away after a year-long battle with cancer. Jazmine Myles has the story.

David Gish was a part of the Texas State Athletic Training family for 25 years. Gish headed the athletic training department for 17 of those years beginning in 1998.
So, you can imagine that on Monday, September 22nd, when he lost his battle with cancer, it hit his colleagues hard. Those close to Gish are deeply saddened.

Jason Karlik has been with Texas State for 18 years and worked alongside Gish for his entire career as an Assistant Athletic Trainer. Karlik had a close relationship with Gish and says he'll miss his friendship more than anything.

The Athletic Department plans to pay tribute to Gish. In his honor, newly designed decals have been placed on the football team's helmets. A service for Gish will be held on Sunday, October 12th at 2:00 p.m. at the San Marcos Embassy Suites. According to the Texas State Athletic Department, a scholarship endowment has been created in Gish's name to support Athletic Training students. Donations can be mailed to the Texas State Athletic Department or dropped off at the Casey Athletics Administration building on campus. For Bobcat Update, I'm Jazmine Myles.
