Trustee in coma

Gavilan College trustee and Morgan Hill resident Mike Davenport, 46, remains in the hospital after he fell off the roof of his RV yesterday.

Davenport suffered a head injury and was placed in a medically induced coma at San Jose Regional Hospital, according to Gavilan board president Laura Perry.

Davenport is in stable condition in the hospital’s intensive care unit, where doctors are taking measures to relieve pressure on his brain resulting from the injury, Perry said.

The accident happened at the Chevron gas station on Cochrane Road about 3 p.m. Monday, Perry said. Davenport pulled into the gas station to fill up his motor home. He climbed onto the roof of the RV to make a minor repair, and fell off the vehicle onto the pavement below.

Davenport’s wife Terri Davenport said, through Perry, that she and her family are grateful for all the support they have received from the community.

“She wants everybody to keep the family in their prayers,” Perry said.

Davenport joined the Gavilan College board of trustees in 2008. He is also the president and CEO of the Morgan Hill Cigar Company, and is a Morgan Hill Rotary Club member.
