Bluefield University mourns the loss of student-athlete, Caitlyn Victoria Gable, 20. A rising junior and Rams’ softball player from Midland, NC, Caitlyn passed away peacefully in her sleep from complications of epilepsy on Tuesday, August 9, 2022. Caitlyn graduated from Concord High School in the IB Program in 2020. Over this summer, she was able to fulfill her childhood dream to inspire young Girl Scouts as a camp counselor at the Keyauwee Program Center. Since the age of 7, Caitlyn always had a passion for softball and played on several travel and American Legion teams. She played first and third baseman for the Rams and was a Biology Major with Pre-Health Professions concentration. “One thing I have always said from the beginning, you are family when you come to Bluefield,” said Baylee Allen, head softball coach. “Caitlyn was a part of our family and always will be. Once a Ram, Always a Ram.”
