On Wednesday, August 29, 2012, former RMD Alpine Toboggan Supervisor, Mark Gage, suddenly passed away while on a bike ride in Breckenridge. A long time member of the Loveland Volunteer ski patrol, he was everything you would want in a patroller and a person. You never saw anything other than a smile on Mark's face - when he smiled, you could not help but smile yourself. Mark touched many lives not only through ski patrol but with his job as senior planner with the Town of Frisco. He will be dearly missed.
Please come celebrate the life of Mark Gage with his family and friends on Saturday, September 15th, 2012 beginning at 2:30 p.m. at the Loveland Basin Lodge at Loveland Ski Area (Exit 216, I-70, Colorado) with a reception to follow.
An educational fund has been set up for Mark's daughters, Riley and Haley, at the Credit Union of the Rockies, PO Box 4787, 111 Main St. Frisco, CO 80443, phone # (970) 668-1900
