Hiking Fatality in Kings Canyon National Park
Gregory Raye, 52, (50 actually) the hiker missing in the Sequoia-Kings Canyon National Parks wilderness, was found today above 13,000 near the summit of Mt. Brewer in Kings Canyon National Park. An official cause of death is under investigation; however it appears he fell to his death while trying to reach the summit.
He was an artist (we have 2 of his paintings hanging in our house), a Son, a Dad, (young) grandpa, brother, nephew, uncle & cousin to many. DD remembers him as the "funny, good drawer".
He joined his Mom in heaven.
TIA
