Rafe Sagarin - marine ecologist, conservationist, science communicator, father, husband, brother, and friend - was killed on May 28th by a drunk driver while on an evening bicycle ride near Biosphere 2 in southern Arizona.
Rafe was 43 years old - full of boundless energy and optimism as well as gigantic and creative vision. He was loved for his enormous smile, generosity, and devotion to his family.
Rafe will be missed dearly by all, but his family especially faces the unrelenting effect of his absence. Please join us in honoring Rebecca and their daughters through financial support in this time of need.
