Todd has been friends with Dave since middle school days. They had so many stories to laugh about; I’m sure many of which their parents weren’t privy to knowing. They were the best of friends right till the end. When Cari met Todd, she, too, became a new best friend and shared in all their fun times. They were both devastated when they heard the news of Dave’s death. When they planned a recent trip to Colorado; a place they had hoped to travel with Dave, they asked if they could take some of his ashes. They wanted to spread them at the Continental Divide.
The Record recently ran an article about Dave. This is Cari’s quote as to the reason they chose this spot as another of Dave’s special places:
Two of Dave’s close friends, Todd and Cari Dages of West Milford, took his ashes to the Continental Divide near Breckenridge, Colo. “At the top, if you pour a glass of water, whatever goes off the east side will eventually make it to the Atlantic Ocean, and whatever goes to the west will go over to the Pacific Ocean,” said Cari Dages, 31. “So we scattered his ashes directly on top, allowing Dave to go east, west and anywhere that he wanted to be, since he wanted to travel and experience all parts of life.”
Thank you, Todd and Cari, for remembering Dave is such a special way!
Hi Pat,
I never got to know Dave, but as it will be a year tomorrow I wanted you to know that he is also remembered here in Boulder.
My thoughts are with you.
