Daniel Ryan Krajewski, 29, of Crested Butte, CO, formerly of Manchester CT, died Saturday, May 9, 2009, in Gunnison, CO, as the result of a tragic motor vehicle accident.
Dan was born in Rockville, CT, on July 8, 1979, the son of Marcia (Lange) Krajewski and Alexander Krajewski.
He was a 1997 graduate of Manchester High School and attended the University of Colorado at Boulder.
He worked at several ski resorts in Steamboat Springs and Crested Butte and, at the time of his death, was a manager of The Last Steep restaurant in Crested Butte.
Dan was a young man of enormous intelligence and talent, with a passion for living life to its fullest. He had the courage and resourcefulness to shape a life that was truly his own and that nourished his adventurous spirit. His wholehearted embrace of each experience life had to offer was an inspiration to all who knew him.
Dan found his true home in the vast expanses and rugged beauty of the American West. A superb skier, his greatest joy was challenging himself on the spectacular heights of the Rocky Mountains. He was a certified heli guide and was trained in wilderness first aid and other rescue operations.
Although his time on earth was too short, Dan touched many lives and will always be remembered as a loving son and brother and a loyal friend. In addition to his parents, Dan leaves his brother, Jay Krajewski, of Coventry, and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.
He was predeceased by his grandparents, Herman and Louise Krajewski of Rockville and Ralph and Rita Lange of Florida.
