Michael Leming, a member of Oregon's outdoors community and former talent scout for Nike, died Sunday while BASE jumping in Norway. His parachute didn't open, according to KGW.
Leming had just turned 53. On Wednesday, his partner Erin Jacobson posted a video to Facebook showing Leming gliding to the ground in time for dinner and whiskey shots to commemorate his birthday.
He worked at Nike for 15 years, recruiting some of the company's top talent. He left to have more time to pursue his thrill-seeking outdoor passions. He BASE jumped around the world, using a parachute or wingsuit. The extreme sport is considered highly dangerous because of the low altitudes from which people jump.
Leming also summited Mount Hood dozens of times, both for fun and to help people trapped on the mountain. He volunteered with Portland Mountain Rescue since 2000.
The organization posted a tribute to Leming on its Facebook page, saying, "Michael, you lived larger than all the rest of us, you pulled as hard as anyone on the team, you demonstrated deep generosity, you cheered loudly for the underdog, and you loved freely your friends, of which there are many. We all just wish we could have had you on belay."
Condolences and memories of Leming flooded social media Sunday, as friends and coworkers found out about the accident.

KGW anchor Joe Donlon wrote a long tribute to Leming, who accompanied Donlon the first time he climbed Mount Hood.
"I had a feeling this day was coming. Still, even when I got word of what happened, I didn't want to believe it. My friend, Michael Leming, was dead. I never asked him directly, but I think he would have admitted -- this was probably inevitable. So did the hundreds of people who were close to him. But that never stopped him, or slowed him down," Donlon wrote, before describing several times Leming got into tight scrapes or nearly died.
The Oregonian/OregonLive wrote about one of those times in 2009. Leming fell 200 feet after a block of ice he was standing on broke. He waited for hours before being airlifted off the mountain. Another time, he was rescuing climbers when a helicopter crashed next to him on live TV.
His father, Reis Leming, was also a celebrated rescuer in the U.S. Air Force.
A Nike spokesman sent The Oregonian/OregonLive: "Nike extends its deepest sympathies to Michael Leming's family and friends. Michael had a true adventurous spirit and was always inspired by the challenges in front of him."

Seattle man dies BASE jumping in B.C.

A Seattle man who died BASE jumping from the Stawamus Chief Mountain in British Columbia wouldn't want anyone to assume the worst about the extreme sport, says his girlfriend.

Gary Kremer, a 30-year-old former marine, has been identified by his girlfriend Paige Anderson as the man who died near the popular outdoor adventure spot near Squamish, north of Vancouver, on Sunday.

"I just really want to make sure people don't look at this sport negatively because of what happened to him," said Anderson in a phone interview from Seattle.

"He loved it and he would not have changed a thing. He would have kept jumping for the rest of his life."
Neither the Squamish RCMP nor the B.C. Coroner's Service have identified the person who died in the accident. The coroner's service said the soonest a name would be released would be Monday.
Squamish RCMP have said the person jumped from the first peak of the Stawamus Chief, a granite cliff about 540 metres above the Sea-to-Sky Highway, just before 10 a.m. Sunday.
Witnesses told police the person's parachute failed to open until it was too late, and the person fell near the highway below, said RCMP.
Anderson said she was notified of the death of her boyfriend of two years by Mounties on Sunday. Her voice filled with emotion, she said Kremer began BASE jumping about nine years ago and fell in love with it.
"He was free. He could fly," she said. "It was a feeling he couldn't get anywhere else."
She said Kremer was a former five-year member of the U.S. Marine Corps. who now worked at Boeing and was also working toward becoming a full-time firefighter. He was drawn to the marines and firefighting because he loved to help others, she said.

Description: Gary was first to exit. The jump occurred around 10 AM. The conditions were calm on exit with a slight right to left wind in the LZ. The face and talus is shaded at this time of day. Gary exited and started to fly with very little forward speed. He continued to fly at this speed as he approached the two sets of high tension power lines between the exit and the LZ. The forward speed decreased as he attempted to fly over the lines. He cleared power lines and deployed immediately. The pilot chute opened the container and canopy extraction began to occur as he impacted before line stretch.
