Steve Tilford

Terrible tragedy.

He sure seems to have lived his life on his own terms. And by all appearances a rich life indeed.

Godspeed and tailwinds.

And sincere condolences to friends and family.

Vincent Davis, who was a passenger in the van that Tilford was driving, confirmed the death to Cyclingnews.

The pair were driving back to Davis' home in Denver, Colorado in I-70 East when their van collided with a tractor trailer carrying boxes of goods that had tipped over across the highway.

"Steve was driving, and I was in the passenger seat dozing when something woke me up – I looked up and thought we were running into a wall," Davis told Cyclingnews. "We hit the side of the truck and went through the trailer and out the top. It was only carrying boxes, so we were hurt but OK.

"I walked up the road to a pick-up truck that had stopped and was sitting inside making calls because it was cold out, and then I heard screaming – another semi had plowed into the van, and Steve was back there."

It sounds like he lived the way he wanted with no regrets and a ton of passion, and for that, he leaves a legacy and a lesson to us all.

Good grief. What a tragedy. Dude definitely lived by his own set of rules.

May he rest in peace.

Very sad to hear about this. Prayers for him and his family.

Easy to forget he had just had a terrible head injury last year too, nobody deserves any of this.

Sad...

But as other have said, he lived a full life on his own terms.

He was the best of friends to his friends, and was an animal lover-

Godspeed Steve
