The Passing of a Good Friend
12/15/07 04:39 Filed in: Special
It is with deep sadness that I have to report the loss of a great friend and supporter of mine and Ride Ventura, Kenny Harbaugh. Kenny passed away Wednesday afternoon while backcountry touring in British Columbia. His trip was with some of Patagonia's ski ambassadors and members of the snowsports design/development team. The details of Kenny's death are still coming in but the preliminary reports are that he suddenly collapsed in the backcountry. Concerted efforts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Harbaugh family and to all who have come to know Ken as a friend he will be deeply missed.
At this time there have not been any formal arrangements for services or a memorial. Stay tuned to Ride Ventura, when we know you will know.
Please take sometime out your busy schedules and spend it with your families. Let them know how much they mean to you.
It appears that life is very fragile these days and we need to cherish every moment.
Riding to Live and Living to Ride,
Brian
