John P. Colmore, Jr. (Jack)

John P. Colmore, Jr. (Jack) peacefully left this world on Sunday, June 25, 2023. He had been courageously battling multiple health issues in the past few years.

Jack was born to Dr. John and Jean (Stark) Colmore in Oklahoma City, OK on April 21, 1955. He was the 6th of 7 siblings and the first boy. He lived in OK until he was 30 and then made multiple moves between TX, ID and CO.

Jack met his wife, Susan, while attending college at NSU in Tahlequah, OK. He used his Psychology and Sociology degrees to help adults with substance abuse and other issues. He started his career as a counselor and moved into positions as CEO for Harmony (Estes Park), Walker Center (Idaho) and Valley Hope (Parker). Jack also served as EAP for Texaco and Phillips early on. The priority for him was to help his patients, students or clients to become clean and sober and enjoy a productive life. There are many wives, husbands, children and families that are grateful to Jack for his help in putting their relationships back together.

Being a dad was Jack’s biggest accomplishment in his life. Chris and Emily always knew that they were loved by him. He enjoyed coaching some of their youth soccer teams. He taught them how to ride a bike and drive a car since he had the patience needed. One of his favorite memories, of their childhood, was bathtime. He could be found teaching them how to use jumper cables at age 7, proofreading assignments and even sneaking brownies before dinner.

If you knew Jack, you knew that golf was a huge part of his life. Jack started playing, at a very young age, by riding to the local golf course and sneaking on to play. He continued, into his retirement, and was often asked what days he played. Jack’s answer was always the same, “any day that ends in y.” After moving to Austin, Jack started bringing home golf balls he found and selling them. His collection grew in numbers and occupied a large space in the garage. The day after his death we found out that there were 9,072 golf balls. It’s a shame he never knew!

Jack is survived by his wife Susan and daughter Emily Harder (Garret). He also left behind his sisters Carolyn, Christine, Elizabeth, Nancy and his brother James. There are nieces, nephews and other family members who will miss him in the years to come. Friends, who live far and wide, will fondly remember Jack and all the good times. Jack was preceded in death by his son Chris, his parents John and Jean Colmore, his father-inlaw Scott and his sister Frances. Per Jack’s request, there will be no service. Memorial donations can be sent to: Estes Park Junior Golf, P.O. Box 1379 Estes Park CO 80157.

Frederick Charles Saemisch passed away peacefully on June 26th, 2023, after a long and good 97 years on Earth. Fred was born in Atlantic, Iowa, where he grew up becoming the star high school quarterback and then attending the University of Iowa for Civil Engineering. After time in the Army Air Force, he became the Cass County Engineer in Iowa when he met Bobbette Bronson and was married to her for 70 years until her passing last year. Fred and Bobbette moved to Colorado where Fred took a senior position in road construction. Fred enjoyed family skiing at Breckenridge and golf and soon owned a cabin in Estes Park and was a regular at the Estes Park golf courses. They enjoyed travel and Fred became a private pilot.

He took a construction management position in St. Louis but remained a part time resident in Estes until becoming full time in later retirement. Fred is succeeded by their three sons, Michael, Todd, and Christopher.

David Lynn Myers

David Lynn Myers, born December 25, 1941, died in the comfort of his home of 20 years in Estes Park, Colorado, Wednesday, May 31, 2023. Lynn was surrounded by family and friends in the last few weeks sharing memories and enjoying laughter. He is survived by his high school sweetheart and wife of 57 years, Inda Kay Myers, three sons (David, Seth, and Jeffrey), two daughters-inlaw (Michelle and Christine), five grandchildren (Ella, Mason, Lathyn, Avery, and Brennon), two brothers, two sisters, a sister-in-law, and nine nieces and nephews.

Born and raised on a small farm near Minneapolis, KS, to Zola and Darrell Myers, he graduated from Minneapolis HS in 1959, Kansas State University 1963 and 1968, and served as a Captain in the US Army 1963 to 1967. Lynn’s professional career in commodity trading and flour milling lead him to Executive Vice President of ConAgra Flour Milling. In support of future agriculture leaders, Kay and Lynn established a scholarship fund at Kansas State University in 2004.

The outdoors will always be the place where Lynn truly enjoyed life. Whether it was enjoying countless fishing, hunting, and camping trips with family, friends, and colleagues, volunteering his leadership to his sons’ Boy Scout troops, Trout Unlimited, Rocky Mountain National Park, or working in the backyard garden (always a farmer at heart), Lynn was happiest with the sun on his face and a companion’s conversation.

Lynn beat the odds with a 15 year battle against MDS, a rare blood cancer, with the support of Dr. Pollyea of Anschutz Medical Center, Aurora, CO, Dr. Dr. Andreeff of MD Anderson, Houston, TX, and the beautiful people of the Estes Park Health Infusion Center. Lynn’s family extends their deepest gratitude towards these people and everyone they have met along this journey.

In lieu of flowers, Lynn requested memorial donations for Dr. Pollyea’s MDS research, Colorado Trout Unlimited, and Boy Scout Troop 989 (Littleton, CO) for National Youth Leadership Training scholarships. Please submit donations through Lynn’s online memorial Ever Loved (www.everloved.com) or to Kay Myers, 1761 Twin Drive, Estes Park, CO 80517.

Memorial service will be held on August 12th at Estes Park United Methodist Church (1509 Fish Hatchery Rd, Estes Park, CO 80517). Weather permitting, services will be outside with lunch provided immediately following the service.

Michael (Mike) Lindholm

Michael (Mike) Lindholm born 12/7/1942 died peacefully (really peacefully) at home in Estes Park, CO on August 1, 2023. Originally from Minneapolis, MN he and his wife moved to Estes in 2019 and found a home and wonderful supportive fun people through the Supreme Court group, Patriots for Peace, Friday Vet breakfast, The Legion and an interdenominational group. He was a VietNam vet who thought the Honor Flight to Washington DC was the best experience of his life. In Minnesota he sailed and made stained glass, had a career as a probation & parole officer with a Master’s degree in social work. He was loyal to family and friends and had a hard time leaving them in Minneapolis. He felt lucky to find such wonderful people in Estes as well as the elk and mountains which

Kara Boone

Kara Kathleen Boone was born on March 6, 1967 at Harris Hospital in Fort Worth Texas. Kara grew up with her older sister, Kim, in College Station, Texas. While she may have been born and raised in Texas, her heart and soul were always meant for Colorado. Specifically, Estes Park, where she and her family vacationed every summer. This love of Estes Park and the beauty of the Rocky Mountains is what led Kara to settle down and build a life there as an adult.

Kara graduated from A&M Consolidated High School in College Station, Texas in 1985. She then attended Texas Christian University, where in 1992 she earned her BBA in Accounting. After a successful academic career, she began a successful professional career as a certified public accountant with Ernst and Young in Fort Worth, Texas. Soon Kara moved to her heaven on earth: Estes Park, Colorado. There she opened her own CPA Firm. She had a successful practice in Estes Park for several years and considered all her clients amongst her friends.

Kara had an immense love for all animals. There is no doubt she’s now enjoying long walks, many fetches, and cuddles with her furry companions: her Golden Retriever, Aspen; Shelties, Chapin and Hallett; and her two cats BJ and Jules. She was also deeply fascinated with sharks and extended her love for animals to nature’s not-socuddly creatures. She was an avid fan of Keith Urban and listened to his music through her happiest and hardest times.

Kara was always striving to do and be the best in all aspects of her life. As a friend she loved to share in all of your joys as well as your sorrows. She could be strong willed and stubborn at times, but she had an enormous heart and a wonderful sense of humor.

At the age of 14 Kara was diagnosed with Lupus. She battled this disease for 42 years. In the end Lupus took her home, but she always fought so valiantly through the many ups and downs this disease threw her way.

Kara Kathleen Boone passed away peacefully on March 17, 2023 in Greeley, Colorado at 56 years old.

Kara was preceded in death by her parents, Dr. James Boone and Kathleen DeVore Boone; her maternal grandparents, Stewart and Charlotte Kathleen DeVore; her paternal grandparents, Louis and Jane Boone; and her maternal great grandmother, Dora Dunn.

Kara leaves behind her sister, Dr. Kimberly Ann Boone of Versailles, Kentucky; her goddaughter, Meredith E. McManus of Atlanta, Louisiana; and her childhood friend, Rae McManus of Atlanta, Louisiana. Those she left behind will forever treasure her love, her friendship, and her legacy.

A celebration of her life will take place on August 16, 2023 at Sprague Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park, Estes Park, Colorado.
