A 2017 graduate of White Mountain Regional High School, Remi enjoyed hiking, cooking, and photography. After hiking a major portion of the southern half of the Appalachian Trail (trail name Pots), Remi took kitchen jobs in various resorts along the east coast from West Virginia to New Hampshire. In his short 25 years he did a lot of traveling and met a lot of interesting people. His dream was to one day tell his stories through his writings and pictures about all of the adventures he had and was going to have. His infectious laugh and self depricating humor will be missed.
A celebration of life will take place at a later date.
