A 19-year-old man, Jonathan Fielding, tragically fell to his death while taking photos at a canyon overlook in Utah.
The incident serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of hiking and photography near cliffs.
Fielding, who had recently moved to Utah, was described as a fun-loving and intelligent young man with big dreams and hopes focused on sales.
“It was a tragic accident, but Jonathan should be a cautionary tale to anyone who hikes or does photography,” his sister Rebecca Fielding wrote.
“No view is worth your life,” Fielding wrote. “No view is worth the suffering that your family and friends will go through. … There was no reason for my brother to die.”
“Jonathan was a fun-loving, intelligent young man that had developed some unique talents,” the obituary read. “He had big dreams and hopes focused on sales.”
He was also known for his selfless love and had earned the rank of Eagle Scout.
The community has come together to support his family through a GoFundMe.
