I would like to update our list of wildlife biologists and others that have lost their lives while performing wildlife management and research activities. If you know of anyone not on our list please contact me with their information.
Dedicated to the memory of those that gave their lives in service to our wildlife resources

Thanks for compiling this memorial list.
I noticed one individual not on the list that died in service. Jim Olterman was a terrestrial biologist with the Colorado Division of Wildlife. Though he died when his plane crashed during a fish-stocking mission, he often flew wildlife surveys and radio-tracking flights. The Colorado Chapter of The Wildlife Society established a scholarship in his memory. https://wildlife.org/colorado/scholarships/
Thank you very much for contacting me about Mr. Olterman.
