Dick Lyman, Boulder, CO— Dick Lyman, the first paid Park Ranger for the City of Boulder Mountain Parks, passed away in July 2023 after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease. His 40-year career was marked by dedication to protecting Boulder’s natural resources and serving the community. Lyman’s legacy includes wild-land firefighting, emergency response, wildlife conservation, and his instrumental role in developing the Junior Ranger program.
Known for his heart and soul commitment, Lyman spent years patrolling areas such as Coot Lake, where he even built the iconic dock himself, after fundraising with local groups like the Mile Hi Bass Pioneers Fishing Club. A memorial bench is being set up at Coot Lake in his honor, with contributions from the community to cover its costs.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Dick Lyman’s family as they mourn his passing and celebrate the lasting impact of his work on the environment and community.
