Many in the snowmobile industry may have heard by now but in case you haven't, Nathan Blaylock was seriously injured in a vehicle accident a week ago and died a couple of days later from those injuries.
Blaylock, who worked in marketing and promotions at Klim, was a huge asset to more than just Klim, but the entire snowmobile industry. Anyone who follows SnoWest Magazine has seen his photos in our pages. He was a great friend and will definitely be missed.
Blaylock leaves behind a wife and four little children. A memorial fund has been set up for Blaylock at http://www.nateblaylock.com/. Also, those who are near a Zion's Bank can just walk in and say they want to donate to the Nathan Lee Blaylock Memorial Fund.
Klim's Scott Tomlinson has shared photos he's taken of Blaylock over the last three years. They are here: http://scottrtomlinson.zenfolio.com/p265728242
