1971-2025

My dad grew up in England, eventually moving here to Colorado for a big job opportunity with Visa. Growing up he learned to master guitar (taught by his brother). Soon he joined a band, was a professional baker, then raced cars and motorcycles (and won trophies!), then was a motorcycle instructor, a professional photographer, the founder of the Colorado Mazda club, a member of the mile high Jeep club (hobo patrol!), and soon enough had a full life with a full family. My dad endured a lot in his life, such as losing my older brother when he was only a few months old, but my parents were strong. He’d make the worst dad jokes, mess around in his music studio, play disc golf… never failed to make everyone laugh. His hugs were the safest, smiles the warmest, and laughs that would brighten any room. He left such a big imprint on so many people, always empathetic, and cared so deeply about those he loved. There’s so much I’ve learned from him that I’ll never forget, so many good memories that keep me warm. I hope whoever reads this finds inspiration from all he’s achieved just like I have, for he was an amazing dad. He struggled greatly with his mental health; it was rough sometimes, but he was worth every hardship. I miss you, I’ll always be your little girl. Rest in peace. I only wish we could have baked that pie together.
