Back in July 2015, Ian Flanders, a professional BASE jumper and climber, fell to his death in a parachute accident in Turkey.
Before Ian’s death, Matt Blank, his climbing and BASE jumping partner, wrote letters to all of his friends and family in case of his own hypothetical death. One of the letters was to Ian.
In this video – produced by GoPro – Matt reads out the letter he wrote to Ian before he passed away. It’s heartbreakingly touching and sad to hear how much he valued his best friend Ian.
