Revelstoke BC Avalanche Victims-Mar 13/10

[doo-skiboy]

OK here we go
I lost 2 of my best friends and co-workers in this event. I knew both of the guys that passed away and was very much involved in both of there life's. They were both best friends and business partners.
Before I go much further I have talked to both of there wife's and given statement to all kinds of press. I want to let all my fellow friends and internet friends know that we (The 2 wife and myself) are not pointing any fingers and we all find it very hard to think of why people would try to press charges. I know and have read this thread a lost of times and would just like to stress that this is no ones fault at all and would like everyone to know how we felt.



Shay was a very good and experienced sledder he really enjoyed sledding and loved to get away to the mountains, he worked very hard so he could play even harder. One thing he all way told me was "if he had to go he wanted to go from the top of the world". Shay was the one at the top of the hill so I feel he wish was answered.

This was a once a year trip for Kurtis and he really enjoyed coming to enjoy a sport that his partner was very passionate for. This was his second trip and he was really enjoying himself. He work very hard and love to play. with his family and friends



Both men will be very much missed and remembered

I really appreciate all the positive comments and I have also past them on to the family's
THANKS SNOW AND MUD

I've clicked on this thread a dozen times, wanting to express my deepest condolences and sadness for the fallen, the families, and the injured. But I just can't find the right words. No words erase the pain and the hurt that only time can and will lessen, but never truly heal. It takes my breath away to think of the emotions of dealing with a tragedy that is so unexpected and misunderstood. I can't even begin to understand what those in the middle of the maelstrom are going through. And so, even though it seems so inadequate at a time like this, I offer my deepest sympathies and most fervent prayers for all who are hurting. May the hands of time and the sword of grief have mercy on you...

 

[Summitric]

My most heartfelt condolensces from me and my family to the family, friends and co-workers of our 2 fallen bothers.........
Rest in peace, and continue hi-marking in the heavens.............
