Yesterday, I posted the sad news that two climbers died after they fell near the top of Grand Teton. When I hear tragic news like this, I often wonder about the families. How are they coping? Even more, I wonder about the victims. How did they live? What legacy will they leave behind? Most of the time, the answers to my questions go unanswered. But, not this time.

One of the climbers was identified as Alan Mooney, 38, an accomplished climber and skier, who worked as an architect with HandsOn Design. He was fluent in Japanese and taught capoeira. The other climber, Jonathan Morrow, 28, was an avid hiker and adventurer who worked with the High Mountain Group at Teton Pines. How did Jonathan live? I think his brother, Josh Morrow, said it best. In response to my original post, he left the following comment:

Jonathan Morrow is my brother. Please keep our family in your thoughts and prayers. Jonathan was an amazing person who brought joy to everyone around him. He died doing what he loved the most, and I'm sure that he wouldn't have it any other way. He accomplished so much in the short 28 years of his life. He completed the Appalachian Trail, he hiked the Continental Divide Trail, he lived in Antarctica for two six month periods, He hiked and climbed all around South American and New Zealand. He was passionate about life and he lived every day to the fullest living his dreams. Jonathan will always have a special place in the hearts of all those that knew him.
Josh, on behalf of myself and the entire Outdoor Weblog community, please accept our deepest condolences for your loss. You and your family will be in our prayers. Jonathan sounded like a truly amazing person.

If you would like to leave your own condolences for the Morrow and Mooney families, please leave a comment.
