BRECKENRIDGE \u2014 Do you know this young man in the photo on the left or the now-older version of him?<\/p>\n

The Summit Daily News received an email over the weekend in hopes of finding this good Samaritan who helped out a Missouri family 13 years ago. It left such a lasting impression on a daughter \u2014 who lost her father just four days later \u2014 that she\u2019d like to find the man and let him know how much his kindness still resonates.<\/p>\n

Thirteen years ago, St. Louis resident Colleen Hogan and her family were in Breckenridge, visiting one of their favorite vacation destinations. Hogan\u2019s father, Richard Lake, who was 70 at the time, had Hogan drive him to the bottom of Boreas Pass so he could cycle the 6 miles up.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe wanted the car ride down because biking downhill would have been too easy,\u201d she said, as written in a column by Leslie McCarthy and published in the South County Times in St. Louis.<\/a><\/p>\n

She drove up to the top of the pass to pick him up and ended up with a flat tire. The pair started reading a set of instructions on changing a tire when when the young man approached and offered to help.<\/p>\n

The photo above was taken with the good Samaritan \u2014 who swapped out the flat \u2014 and ended up being the last photo ever taken of Lake. He died four days later in a car accident after the family returned to St. Louis. The picture has been hanging above Hogan\u2019s desk at work, and in her home, for the past 13 years.<\/p>\n

McCarthy sent us this story and photo taken in summer 2006.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho knows,\u201d McCarthy writes. \u201cThis good Samaritan may have been a resident, or he may have just been passing through. But if you would be so kind as to share this story, it might help find him \u2014 and give my friend Colleen Hogan some closure.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI want him to understand how much his kindness touched us,\u201d Hogan said in McCarthy\u2019s column. \u201cIt\u2019s been 13 years, but he lives on with my dad, in my hallway and at my office. He\u2019s part of our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n
