In Loving Memory of Ethan Powers, Jeremy Coleman, and Nathan McCormick

In Loving Memory of Ethan Powers, Jeremy Coleman, and Nathan McCormick

With profound sadness and heavy hearts, we mourn the tragic loss of Ethan Powers, 35, of Timnath, Jeremy Coleman, 45, of Berthoud, and Nathan McCormick, 26, of Loveland, whose lives were taken far too soon in a devastating motorcycle crash in northern Idaho on Tuesday afternoon.

According to the Idaho State Police, the fatal collision occurred at approximately 4 p.m. on U.S. Highway 12 near the town of Kooskia. Investigators say a pickup truck driven by a 60-year-old Colorado Springs woman crossed the double yellow line in a no-passing zone while attempting to overtake another vehicle, colliding head-on with the three motorcycles traveling eastbound.

The impact was catastrophic, and all three men tragically died at the scene.

The loss of these three men has left families, friends, coworkers, and entire communities grieving a pain that words cannot fully express.

The Colorado Fraternal Order of Police later confirmed that Jeremy Coleman was a respected sergeant with the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office, while Ethan Powers served as a dedicated deputy. Both men spent their lives serving and protecting their community, carrying the weight of responsibility and sacrifice that comes with law enforcement. Their commitment to helping others and standing in service of justice leaves behind a legacy that will never be forgotten.

Adding to the heartbreak, Nathan McCormick was identified as Jeremy Coleman’s son-in-law — making this loss even more devastating for the family, as they now mourn two beloved men taken in the same tragic moment.

This unimaginable tragedy is a reminder of how quickly life can change. What may have begun as a simple ride turned into a heartbreaking event that has forever altered the lives of so many.

Ethan, Jeremy, and Nathan were more than victims of a tragic accident. They were sons, husbands, fathers, friends, and loved ones. They were men with stories, dreams, laughter, and lives that mattered deeply to everyone who knew them.

For those in law enforcement, this loss cuts especially deep. The bond between officers is one built on trust, sacrifice, and shared duty. The absence of Sgt. Coleman and Deputy Powers will be felt not only in their department but throughout the wider law enforcement community.

As the driver involved now faces three counts of vehicular manslaughter, many are left reflecting on the fragility of life and the devastating consequences of one reckless decision.

Today, we honor the lives of Ethan Powers, Jeremy Coleman, and Nathan McCormick — remembering them not for how they died, but for how they lived, the love they shared, and the countless lives they touched.

To their families, friends, coworkers, and all who loved them, we extend our deepest condolences and heartfelt prayers. May you find strength in each other, comfort in your memories, and peace in knowing their legacy will live on forever.

Rest in peace, Ethan Powers, Jeremy Coleman, and Nathan McCormick. Your service, your love, and your memory will never be forgotten.
