That's sad, but if I were 80 I'd be happy to go that way.

Very sad but better than dying in a nursing home

He went out in nature, amidst the mountains and 'neath a starry sky, instead of in a hospital bed next to another dude who's crapped himself with his wife and kids pestering him about who inherits what, vultures circling before his flesh is even cold. Sounds like a good way to go to me.

What a stud! I'm sorry for the loss but I'm not sorry he died doing something so very awesome that he clearly loved. He did it right. All the way through the end. I don't know him but I wish I had the chance to. He sounds absolutely amazing. ❤

You guys and your EIGHTY YEARS OLD!!! And hiking alone... i have two close friends in the 80s that would not be if i were to talk to them like they are twelve. They go where ever they want to go and when. That's the beauty of getting to that age. One still goes fishing on her own boat in the summer and out on the ice in the winter. The other goes and goes harder than most men half his age. We all are gonna leave this planet one way or another... and this man here went out doing what he loved, rip to the departed,and my condolences to the family.

I guess they think he should have safely preserved himself so he could die in a convalescent hospital instead.

@@ambrosemackinnon8314 You should have known better than to tell others they can't have solitude. The man accepted the risks and did something for himself and by himself; is that something you can comprehend or does your wife accompany you everywhere lest you stray and have a moment of solitary thought? She hold your hand when you're on the toilet, too, in case you have a heart attack and keel over?

Because he doesn't care anymore, probably. When you're old, you just want to enjoy the last bit of life. My grandparents are 97 and bedridden and miserable. They're ready to be dead but just aren't dead yet. Would it be better for him to be in that state?

Hiking at 80 doesnt matter if you are experienced or not. Its possible he had a medical event that caused him to fall. A medical event is moments away from any age, but more likely as we age. Doesnt make it any less tragic!Hopefully he wasnt alive when he fell. Those would be horrible last moments! Condolences to the family. Glad he was found!
