PARADISE, Wash. — A memorial service will be held Friday afternoon for a Patten native killed during a mountain rescue.
Nick Hall, 33, slid about 3,700 feet to his death June 21 as he was helping evacuate climbers from a crevasse by helicopter near the summit of the 14,411-foot mountain, according to his father, Carter Hall, and a park spokesman.
Park Service spokeswoman Nancy Stimson says fog and snow again prevented a helicopter from recovering the body.
Beautiful service. Thank you Bangor Daily for streaming this video. God bless Nicks family, friends, and fellow rangers.
Very Beautiful Service…………So sorry for all the family……Gail (Tozier) Nason
