Englewood Mayor Pro Tem Joe Anderson, 45, died Friday morning after collapsing on the lower slopes of Quandary Peak, a 14,271-foot summit in Summit County, Colorado and the highest point in the state's Tenmile Range.
Summit County sheriff's deputies received the call around 6:45 a.m. Other hikers had been performing CPR when first responders arrived and took over, Sgt. Mike Schilling told Summit Daily.
An official cause of death has not been determined. Anderson first joined Englewood's City Council in 2019, winning election to represent District 3, then secured a second four-year term in 2023.
His fellow council members chose him as mayor pro tem that December. Before taking office, he served in pastoral roles at local churches and helped found Change the Trend, a coalition focused on homelessness.
