Life is short, you have to appreciate what you have. So many people go in freak accidents, for all you know this could be your last day. You always have to make the moment, cause each moment could be your last. My coworkers father died the other day. He was geocaching and fell off a cliff. I can't even believe that actually happened, it's like a bad novel. I didn't know him, so I can't say I'm sad about it, more just shocked that it actually happened. It's so surreal. It makes me want to go out and do things even more though, make the most of what I have. We can't stop death, only make the most out of life. Unless you happen to know a vampire, but depending on which types of vampires you read about, that could be an even worse thing. Ah well, I guess I'll just stick with my humanity and enjoy what I have.
Man who died in cliff fall identified
From staff reports The Spokesman-Review
Stuart Anderson died Monday after falling from a cliff in the Dishman Hills Natural Area.
A memorial fund for Stuart Anderson has been set up at Spokane Teachers Credit Union. Donations can be made at any branch in Anderson’s name.
The 56-year-old Spokane Valley killed Monday after falling from a cliff in the Dishman Hills Natural Area was identified Tuesday by his family.
Stuart Anderson was “geocaching” with his wife Monday afternoon, when he apparently slipped on wet pine needles and fell about 100 to 150 feet off a sheer rock cliff to his death, the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office said. Geocaching is a GPS-aided treasure hunting game, where geocachers use GPS coordinates left on Internet sites to find prizes left by others.
Anderson’s family issued the following statement:
“There are no words to describe how meaningful he was to everyone he knew.
He was a loving father, husband, grandfather, son, brother, and friend.
His humor and zest for life will be deeply missed.
He is the best thing that ever happened to all of us.
Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers.”
According to a family spokesman, a memorial service for Anderson has been scheduled for November 20 at Heritage Congregation. The time has yet to be announced.
