At a small memorial that has materialized at the entrance to Boulder’s Bramble & Hare restaurant, a single note was on display Wednesday directed to Dr. Christopher Bayley King, who was shot to death outside the establishment just after midnight on Memorial Day.
“If we sparkle, he may land tonight,” it read, quoting David Bowie’s “Starman.” Beneath it, someone had written, “Chris, you were a pure delight.”
That’s also the way King, 49, was remembered Wednesday by Jennifer Draper, a classmate of King’s at the prestigious Crystal Springs Upland School in Hillsborough, Calif., where they graduated in the class of 1986.
“He was incredibly brilliant, and very compassionate,” said Draper, a one-time Denver resident now living in Troy, Mich. “Those are the words that come to mind.” She said King was a native of Atherton, Calif.
