Life is a fragile, the moments fleeting and passings unpredictable. I woke to very sad news this morning that @jessroskelley @davidlama_official and @hansjoergauer had tragically been killed in an avalanche in the Canadian Rockies. The news shook me to the core and I couldn’t help but break down in tears. The photos here are of Jess, all that I have on my phone but enough to bring me back to happier times. In my sadness I’m grateful to have know you my friend. You, like David and Hansjörg, we’re larger than life and a joy to be around. My heart and prayers go out to the family of these three beautiful soles. May they rest in peace and be remembered warmly for the remarkable people they were.
