Hilary Tisch, the daughter of New York Giants’ co-owner Steve Tisch, has died at the age of 36.
“Hilary was a kind, caring and beautiful person,” Steve Tisch said in the statement announcing her death Monday. “Her mother, sisters, brothers and I are devastated by her passing. It leaves a hole in our hearts and our lives. She, like so many others, bravely fought the disease of depression for as long as she could. We love and will miss her dearly. Our family is utterly heartbroken and is mourning its tragic loss. We ask for privacy during this very difficult time.”
Hilary Tisch battled depression and died at a Los Angeles hospital after a suicide attempt over the weekend.
She was a jewelry designer and gemologist, and one of the founding partners of Doen, a Los Angeles-based brand. In her biography for the company, the creative consultant said that she split her time between LA and Aspen, Colorado, with her dog Pearl.
Giants co-owner John Mara released the following statement:
“On behalf of the Mara family and the rest of the Giants organization, I want to express our deepest sympathy to Steve and his family. Our hearts are heavy for their loss of Hilary. We pray for their peace and comfort.”
Hilary, born on Nov. 1, 1983, is survived by her father Steve, her mother Patsy and her siblings Will Tisch and his wife Grace, Elizabeth Tisch, Holden Tisch and Zachary Tisch.
