Charlie Meyers, longtime outdoor editor for the The Denver Post, passed away this week after a courageous battle with cancer.

Rocky Mountain flyfishing and Charlie’s always unique, humble, and germane observations went hand and hand for as long as anybody can remember. He also was a genuinely kind and gracious person, which the world doesn’t make enough of these days.

“Charlie was one of the people who defined The Post,” Post editor Greg Moore said. “He wrote about what makes Colorado special — nature and its bounty. He was dependable, and what he wrote was fresh. Charlie was a great colleague, always with a kind word, and he will be greatly missed by all of us.”
