WRQ Co-Founder Douglas Walker Dies in Avalanche
8th January 2016
Douglas Walker, a math whiz who loved to quote Shakespeare, made a fortune by building a trailblazing software firm in Seattle, then retired early and pursued a passion for mountain climbing.
On the final day of 2015, the 65-year-old defied high winds to scale Granite Mountain, one of his favorite climbs in the Cascades of Washington state. He died in an avalanche.
Let that be a lesson to us all.
