Jason Dunbar, R.I.P., death on Upper Yosemite Fall trail
Ursus:
--- Quote from: "Wh??ter" ---People die all the time, Ursus. I guy I went to highschool with just dies the other day. I didn't see anybody trying to blame it on his school though. This is where you people go wrong all the time. Only extremists like the posters of Fornits could draw a straight line between a school somebody went to as a kid and their death as an adult. This is why your collective credibility is so low. I don't think anyone is buying it, Ursus.
--- End quote ---
Geezzz. Kinda jumping to conclusions here, "Wh??ter," doncha think? Where is the "straight line" I drew, or even implied?
The guy went to Hyde. This is a Hyde forum. No disrespect intended, but... that should more than sufficient reason for the thread as far as you're concerned, eh? Beyond that, you'll just have to speculate on your own account... if you want more grist for your mill.

In Memory of Jason Dunbar
Millennium's Sous Chef, Jason Dunbar, spent his last day in Yosemite on Friday, his favorite place outside of the kitchen, with people he loved, people who loved him. He and Eric Tucker created the menu together for the past five years and he had been with Millennium since February of 2004.
Jason left us too soon, and he will be missed deeply by everyone who knew him.
He was honest and full of life-- someone who believed that if he was going to do something, it was going to be done right and with all of his endless energy and integrity. He was a wonderful teacher, an avid reader and someone who was always true to himself and to those around him.
He was extremely talented and so passionate about and dedicated to feeding people delicious food that did not do harm in its making.
He loved laughing and making people laugh, and he went out of his way every day to make this day better than the one before. He has influenced so many, and so much, and his spirit will live always in the people who love him, in our enduring memories, in our constant gratitude--in us forever.
Jason's memorial service will be held on Friday, May 27th at 2:00pm.
It will be at Lafayette Orinda Presbyterian Church, 49 Knox Dr., Lafayette.
There will be a reception at the church after the service.
Jason was a devoted climber for twenty years-his love for climbing survives him and celebrates him with your considered contribution to The Access Fund, an organization dedicated to protecting the environment at America's rock climbing sites.

Millennium's Sous Chef Jason Dunbar's Memorial Fund
Millennium's Sous Chef, Jason Dunbar, died unexpectedly while hiking in Yosemite on Friday, May 13th. He was only 34 years old, and by all accounts (and there are lots of them), an extremely kind, funny, and awesomely wonderful stand-up dude. I have several friends who are former co-workers of his and all of them speak with such love, it's awe-inspiring. If I leave behind a 1/20th of that amount of goodwill and affection, I'd be surprised (thrilled).
Anyhow, this news really is the pits, and it's impossible to say anything remotely not awful about the whole terrible situation, so I'll just say that if you've ever enjoyed a meal at Millennium*, there's a good chance it was thanks to Jason's culinary genius, as he and Eric Tucker have been creating the menu together for the past 5 years. So why not donate in his name to the Access Fund, an organization dedicated to protecting the environment at America's rock climbing sites. We're lucky to be able to start our Mondays off right by supporting an extremely worthy cause, in the name of an extremely worthy human being.

Jason Dunbar Memorial Giving
This memorial page has been established at the request of Jason's loved ones.
Jason Dunbar was a devoted climber for twenty years. He loved nothing more than the moment when everything else in the world disappeared, when he was topping out on a boulder problem he found in the middle of nowhere.
Jason lived for extended periods of time in both Joshua Tree and Yosemite National Park, and loved climbing in Yosemite Valley more than any place else. Jason spent his last day in Yosemite on Friday, May 13 with people he loved, people who loved him.
Jason left us too soon. He will be missed deeply by his parents, Marjorie and David; his siblings Karrin, Drew and Brad; his life partner Alison; and by everyone who knew him. He was honest and full of life—someone who believed that if he was going to do something, it was going to be done right and with all of his endless energy and integrity. His spirit will live always in the people who love him, in our enduring memories, in our constant gratitude—forever.
Jason's love for climbing survives him and celebrates him with your considered contribution to the Access Fund, an organization that he respected very much.
Jason's memorial service will be held on Friday, May 27th at 2:00pm.
It will be at Lafayette Orinda Presbyterian Church, 49 Knox Dr., Lafayette.
There will be a reception at the church after the service.
