Christopher Hutchins, a young Marine from our area recently passed away. His funeral services, with full military honors, will be held in Buena Vista on Sunday, February 26th.

Local emergency responders will participate in a procession to honor him. We are asking citizens to line the routes waving either the US Flag or US Marine Corp Flags to assist in honoring this young Marine.

The response vehicles will leave the Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office in Salida at approximately 12:30 pm proceeding westbound on W 3rd St to Highway 291, northbound on Highway 291 then northbound on Highway 285 to Buena Vista, eastbound on Main Street and southbound on S Railroad St to the Buena Vista Hish School for the services.

Our thoughts are with Christopher’s family and friends as they go thru this difficult time.
