Brad returned to San Marcos in 2009, earning a bachelor of science in geography and environmental studies with a minor in geology in 2011, and launching a new career as an environmental investigator for the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
Throughout the years, no matter where life and work took him across the state, Brad never lost his connection to the logo he’d created or the community that had adopted it. One moment stood out above all others.
Brad and Abby
“When we went back for Bobcat Bonanza in 2016, getting out on that new field and the logo was everywhere, and we were walking on it—that was cool,” said Abby, whose surname is now Gevara. “That was the first time we’d been out on the field with it.”
When Brad Monk passed away in 2019, Bobcat Athletics supported the family by making a fitting personal tribute to his legacy.
“When he passed, we had T-shirts made in memory of him,” Abby said. “We superimposed his signature with the logo he created, for all of his friends and family. We’re so grateful the school let us do that.”
