ASPEN — Friends of Adam Dennis said Tuesday their memories of all the great times they had with the adventurous, kind-hearted man will eventually overtake their grief over his death in an avalanche Monday.

He was universally described as someone who had a passion for outdoor adventure and the mountain lifestyle that he immersed himself in since moving to the Roaring Fork Valley in 1997. He was an excellent photographer, a fan of Widespread Panic and other jam bands, and someone who loved to chill with his friends.

“He was just the best person in the world. He was full of life, full of spirit,” said Tim O'Connell, who said he considered Dennis his best friend over the last decade. They spent a lot of time together on outdoor adventures, especially skiing, and had numerous “delirious times” at concerts.

O'Connell said Dennis is the kind of guy who will be “universally” remembered as an all-around good guy and someone who had a positive relationship with virtually everyone he met.
