Media Notes | Garrett Austin Spencer, 19, passed away March 24, 2012 in Wolf Creek, CO due to a skiing accident. He was born on January 18, 1993 in Wichita, KS, the son of Gary S. and Susan R. Spencer. He was a 2011 graduate of Hesston High School where he was captain of the football team, and a member of the Future Business Leaders of America. He was also part of the Odyssey of the Mind team that made it to the World Finals twice. Garrett then went on to college at Kansas State University in Manhattan, KS where he was part of the KSU Marketing Club, and active member of the Student Mobility. He also enjoyed playing intramural sports. Garrett was an active member of God's Family, and a leader of the Hesston Youth Group where he touched many lives. A leader and a role model. That's how friends, coaches, and teachers described Garrett who died Saturday (3-24-2012) after crashing into a tree at Wolf Creek Ski Area in Colorado. People in Hesston describe him as a natural leader. "There have been so many stories of things he's done. It's stuff that happens along the way and you don't think twice about it. Now, you just reflect back and you think I knew Garrett was that kind of kid but it never registered with me," says Ty Rhodes, Spencer's former basketball coach at Hesston. Officials in Colorado say Spencer received almost immediate attention after hitting the tree. A skier passing by the scene happened to be a nurse, and tried to help. The ski patrol was alerted and arrived shortly after. He is survived by his parents Gary Spencer, and Susan Spencer both of Hesston, brothers Clayton and Landon Spencer of Hesston, paternal grandparents Ralph (Shirley) Spencer of McPherson, and maternal grandparents Earl (Carrol) Dalin of San Antonio, TX, and DeEtta Dalin of Wichita.
