Carl Vair

Mr. Carl A. Vair, 63, of Platteville, CO passed away Wednesday, October 19, 2022 at Good Samaritan Medical Center in Lafayette, CO.

Carl was born October 11, 1959 in Denver, CO to Theodore A. and Donna L. (Knight) Vair.

Carl attended Nederland Junior-Senior High School. He owned and operated Carl’s Corner, a gas station and garage, in Coal Creek Canyon, CO for 28 years. Carl was a cornerstone in the community. He and his crew helped the local fire department tremendously by servicing their trucks. He was out early after snow storms to clear snow for churches, neighbors, and the fire department for many years. Carl was known for his sense of humor, being a practical joker, and always willing to lend a helping hand! He was a thrill seeker from a very young age, and was an adrenaline junkie with a need for speed, whether in a race car or jumping out of an airplane. Carl was passionate about racing his red modified coupe #45.

Carl will be greatly missed by his family, friends, and community.

Carl married the love of his life, Jodi, on August 22, 2022. She survives. He is also survived by his mother, Donna L. Bulgrin, and husband Virgil of Paonia, CO, his children, Jason, and wife, Rachel of Loveland, CO, Heide Vair of Denver, CO, Ari Vair of Arvada, CO, a stepson, Christopher Hansen, of Denver, CO, his grandchildren, Brighid, Genevieve, and Gabriel, all of Loveland, his brother, Keith Vair, and wife, Cindy, of Westminster, CO.
