In Honor of Gabe Myers

Gabe-MyersThe Career Center faculty, students, and staff suffered a heartbreaking loss when Gabe Myers passed away on March 8 after playing basketball. Gabe was a well-loved Portage High School senior who was enrolled in our Video Productions class with Mr. Phelps. Gabe was making a name for himself in our class as the color commentator for our sports broadcasts. In that role, he teamed with play-by-play guy, Mike Zmija, and Rachel Santos, our sideline reporter. The whole crew enjoyed working with Gabe, who had a great love of sports. He also was very funny and respectful to everyone. The passing of someone so young is inexplicable, but he will be forever remembered for his kindness, compassion for others, and his love of life. Mr. Phelps said that Gabe had a wonderful future ahead of him in whatever he chose to do and thought his talents in sports broadcasting would take him far. Gabe was also recently honored at the Indiana Association of Student Broadcasters annual statewide conference. Gabe has received many testimonials but most importantly, his memory will live on in the hearts and minds of everyone associated with the Porter County Career and Tech Center.
