Even though I didn't know this young man, I have been reading up on some cases surrounding the heartbreaking incident that occurred on jan 22nd, 2012. I can assure you taft wherever you are, that your parents are fighting for you and probably still miss you. I understand what its like for parents when they loose one of there own where they expected for you to grow and have an impact on the world and for there world dissolve when it wouldn't happen anymore. I too am a fellow skier, may be a stranger, but a skier who takes into account of what happened and to remember about it. As your know friends have stated, I hope your skiing like your butt's on fire. you will be remembered for a long time in the community you were from and grew up in. (Denver, CO)
