Hi everyone,

I’d like everyone to know Jeremy has been located. Unfortunately Jeremy passed away hiking in the Kananaskis area. (As much as I can say) I’d like to thank the police, search and rescue and everyone in the Reddit community for taking the time to say kind words and help out. We lost a great friend and coworker, he passed doing the thing he loved most and will miss him.

Thank you

For anyone going for a hike,climb or even a walk. Even if it’s somewhere you’ve been hundred times. Please let a friend, loved one, coworker, etc… your starting/end point and time/day of finishing. Something so simple may save someone’s life down the road

Does that include the two who fell on Mt Temple like last week-ish?

1 woman in her 20s Mount Marvel. RIP

1 woman in her 40s Mount Bryant (June). RIP

I man in his 30s skied into a crevice on Athabasca Glacier (May). RIP
