Smith, PVMC’s chief paramedic battalion chief, dies STAFF REPORT
Memorial services for Platte Valley Medical Center Paramedic Battalion Chief Mark Smith will be at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 17, at Orchard Church, 12405 E. 120th Ave. Smith died of complications of coronavirus early Nov. 7. He’d been a first responder for 30 years, dating back to his time with Reed Ambulance, Rural Metro Ambulance and as a dispatcher for
Adams County Communications. “Whether Mark was teaching, working on the ambulance, leading his team as the shift supervisor or any other countless tasks Smith he would take on, he was always an inspiration and did what he could to put a smile on your face,” said a Facebook post from PVMC. “Mark was known for his sarcastic humor

and personality, always teasing and making the workplace fun. To all who knew him, he was kind, compassionate, caring, and an allaround hero.” Following the memorial service, there will be an emergency vehicle procession to Platte Valley Medical Center for a brief, final ceremony. “Mark will be missed by all including his co-responders from surrounding fire, EMS and police agencies,” PVMC’s post read.
“Being a part of the Platte family for as long as he has been, he has made countless friends and has touched many, many lives. His entire Platte family are grieving his loss, a loss that will be felt for a long time. “Please keep the Smith family in your thoughts and prayers as the times ahead will no doubt be difficult to navigate,” the post added. “Hold tightly to one another and, as Mark would say, ‘Be more gooder.’”

They came to the Colorado Center for the Blind seeking confidence. They left traumatized. Sexual abuses were kept quiet for decades at the world-renowned school for the blind in Littleton, former students and employees allege. More than a dozen previously unreported instances of sexual misconduct and abuse spanning at least two decades at the Colorado Center for the Blind have surfaced during an internal investigation of the school’s parent organization. Among the offenses were the alleged sexual assault of a 13-yearold girl by a summer youth camp counselor in 2001, a teacher accused of sexually harassing students in 2019 who was hired despite school leadership allegedly knowing he had faced accusations of unwanted sexual contact at another school, and a teacher who admitted he en-
