Tom Wyrowski Obituary, Death Cause – On the eve of the Annual Refresher and Ski Swap, the Mount Kato community is coming together with heavy hearts to remember and pay tribute to one of its most dedicated members. Tom Wyrowski, a 30-year veteran of the Mount Kato Ski Patrol, passed away earlier today, leaving behind a legacy of service, compassion, and a warm smile that touched the lives of many. Tom Wyrowski wasn’t just a member of the ski patrol; he was a pillar of strength and a beacon of hope for both patrons and fellow patrollers alike. For three decades, he dedicated countless hours to ensuring the safety and well-being of those who ventured onto the slopes of Mount Kato. Whether it was helping a beginner find their way down the mountain or responding to a more serious emergency, Tom was always there, ready to lend a hand.
Tom’s commitment to safety extended beyond his role as a patroller. He was also an Outdoor Emergency Care (OEC) and Outdoor Emergency Transportation (OET) instructor, sharing his knowledge and expertise with the next generation of first responders. His dedication to training and educating others in emergency care undoubtedly saved lives and ensured that the Mount Kato Ski Patrol maintained the highest standards of excellence. But Tom was more than just a skilled patroller and instructor; he was a friend and mentor to many. Those who had the privilege of working alongside him remember his warm and friendly demeanor. His infectious smile could brighten even the darkest days on the mountain, and his unwavering positivity was a source of inspiration for everyone who crossed his path.
For those who knew Tom, it wasn’t uncommon to see him enjoying a Swisher Sweet, a small indulgence that he savored while taking in the breathtaking views of the ski slopes he loved so dearly. It was these simple moments that made Tom’s presence so cherished among his colleagues and friends. Today, as we gather to remember Tom Wyrowski, our hearts are heavy with grief, but they are also filled with gratitude for the countless lives he touched. The Mount Kato Ski Patrol has lost a true legend, and the skiing community has lost a passionate advocate for safety and camaraderie.
Our deepest condolences go out to Tom’s family during this difficult time. While we mourn the loss of a beloved friend and colleague, we also celebrate a life well-lived, a legacy of service, and the enduring impact of a man who always had a smile and a kind word for those in need. As we come together for the Annual Refresher and Ski Swap, let us remember Tom Wyrowski not with sadness, but with the same warmth and positivity he shared with us all. In doing so, we honor his memory and the remarkable contributions he made to Mount Kato and the world of skiing. Tom may be gone, but his spirit will forever live on in the hearts of those he touched.
