Dear Toria Barnhart and the Park Record team: Thank you for the moving and beautifully written story, “Patrick Hayes celebrated for living boldly,” and for the powerful photographs that accompanied it. Your thoughtful coverage captured Patrick’s vibrant spirit and the impact he had on so many.
The shooting of Patrick Hayes is something most of us still cannot believe occurred here in Park City. It has raised serious and urgent public safety concerns in our community. Your decision to make this story front page news gave it the attention it deserves and honored Patrick’s life with the dignity and truth his memory calls for.
We are deeply grateful for your journalism and your compassion.
