Very tragic.
Prayers for his family

From a 285bound family member.....

Scott Kruithoff's Memorial Service will be Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at the Cherry Creek Presbyterian Church at 10:00 am, 10150 East Belleview Ave. Englewood, CO 80111. A full military honors burial will follow at Ft. Logan National Cemetary at 1:00, 4400 W. Kenyon Ave. Denver, CO 80236. Everyone is welcome to attend. In lieu of flowers we would like to ask that donations be made to The Kruithoff Memorial Fund at any First Bank in Colorado or to the childrens college funds through USAA Bank.

Pacamom...Thx for the info.

I pray that his family finds some peace.

There are children, parents, brothers, sisters extended family and friends who are deeply hurt right now.
My thoughts and prayers for all who loved and cared for Mr. Kruithoff.
May he rest in peace.

I will be going to both services. If anyone would like to go or carpool, please let me know. I can meet you in Pine Junction or anywhere along 285.

I can drive. We can all pile in the Buick.

Wow! My husband I and saw the emergency lights out our kitchen window about 9pm. Then when I got up at 1am they were still there. We wondered what happened. There always seems to be an accident there at least once a year. I will pray for the family.

OK so none of you knew that this was my son.
In the past if I have ever been insensitive due to statements published in a newspaper,
I ask for forgivness and know that I will never say anything other than comforting words in the future.

Last night I went and layed in the snow next to where he was found. It's the only place that I feel his presence right now.
I read a couple of comments at the beginning of this thread but stopped because I want that spot to continue to be a comfort me.

There are no hard feelings, my heart is too shattered to hold any.
Bless the rescue squad who, I heard, made attempts at revival. We're so, so grateful for that.
Bless the mountain community that I have come to love so much and my mountain friends who have been a great comfort to me.
