BASE jumper who died in B.C. identified as former marine from Seattle
SQUAMISH, B.C. — A Seattle man who died BASE jumping from the Stawamus Chief Mountain in British Columbia wouldn’t want anyone to assume the worst about the extreme sport, says his girlfriend.
Gary Kremer, a 30-year-old former marine, has been identified by his girlfriend Paige Anderson as the man who died near the popular outdoor adventure spot near Squamish, north of Vancouver, on Sunday.
“I just really want to make sure people don’t look at this sport negatively because of what happened to him,” said Anderson in a phone interview from Seattle.
“He loved it and he would not have changed a thing. He would have kept jumping for the rest of his life.”
