JMU Athletics mourns loss of Associate AD Tom Kuster to colon cancer at 49

HARRISONBURG, Va. – James Madison Athletics is grieved to share news of the passing of Associate Athletic Director for Integrated Health and Sports Performance Tom Kuster, who died Tuesday, May 17, at age 49 following a nearly two-year fight with colon cancer.

The American Cancer Society says routine screening should begin at age 45, rather than 50, reflecting the rise of colorectal cancer in younger patients.
