Kyle Uhl

Kyle Uhl was living the dream in Crested Butte, Colorado. He loved the outdoors and spent as much time as possible skiing gnarly runs on Mount Crested Butte (120 days in 2017-18), traveled the US with friends to rock climb in places like Zion NP, Devils Lake, Wisconsin, Devils Tower in Wyoming, the tree in your backyard. He was also an avid sailor, loved hiking and camping in the mountains, kayaking, fly fishing, and riding sick lines on his mountain bike.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

Kyle, even as a young child, was very outgoing and social, always smiling and talking, and brightened the day of those around him. He was very curious and adventuresome, loved exploring and climbing, experimenting, figuring out how things worked, making things work better or inventing. He was always full of ideas and had a dozen things going at the same time. On the outside, he was full of life and was focused on the future—especially the coming ski season.

On Friday, October 19 he bought supplies for his business, a lottery ticket, and went out with friends.

On Sunday, October 21, 2018, Kyle died by suicide.

He was 27 years old.
