Carl Nelson (1952-2019) - One of the original founders and a longtime member of the Board of Directors of WashCo Bikes, Carl tirelessly promoted our mission of improving cycling locally and serving our local community, especially children. Carl has made WashCo Bikes a family legacy: he is survived by his daughter Shannon, currently serving on the Board of Directors, his granddaughter Allie, founding member of our youth advisory committee, and his wife, longtime and devoted volunteer Nancy.

Dr. Jennifer Kurmaskie-Konopka (1963-2019) The beloved sister of our Executive Director Joe Kurmaskie, Jennifer was an avid outdoorsperson and pediatrician whose memory will be honored by a donation that introduces children to the freedom of cycling.

Mark Norberg (1953-2017) was one of the founding members of Washington County Bicycle Transportation Coalition and volunteered many hours in the shop as well as serving on the board for many years. For Mark, bicycling was a low environmental impact form of transportation. He always liked to say he "drove" his bicycle and "rode" in a car. In the summer of 1985, Mark's most notable bicycle trip was to drive solo cross-country starting in Portland, OR and ending in Boston, MA. His judgment influenced the growth and mission of WashCo Bikes in countless ways.
