Members of Calgary’s mountain biking community are mourning the loss of one of their own.
On Sept. 12, Jordan Phillip Goheen, 40, was riding his e-bike when a vehicle struck him as he was crossing the intersection at 17 Avenue and 101 Street southwest.
According to the Calgary Police Service, a SUV driven by a man in his 70s was turning left when tragedy struck.
Goheen suffered critical injuries and was later pronounced dead.
In the days since, Goheen is being remembered by friends and loved ones, to whom he was known as ‘Phil.’
“You never think it’s gonna be someone you know, and then that connection happens,” said Joey Reinhart.
Renhart, who is part of a mountain biking group called The Flannel Crew, says Goheen was an amazing person, filled with kindness, who was always in your corner.
“It didn’t matter, you know, if you were just out for a ride with Phil or talking about life,” explained Reinhart. “Whatever stresses you had in your life, he was just like ‘Hey man, follow your dreams, go get it!’ kind of guy.”
