A Montana hiker and a father of four was killed when he was apparently attacked by a grizzly bear near Yellowstone National Park, according to authorities and a fundraising page created for him.

Search and rescue crews discovered Craig Clouatre, a 40-year-old Livingston, Montana man, on Friday morning, two days after he left for a hike with a friend and split up, Park County Sheriff Brad Bichler announced later that day. "It appears he had an encounter with a grizzly and unfortunately did not survive," Bichler wrote.

"They split up at some point later in the morning," Bichler told the Livingston Enterprise."When the other man returned to their vehicle and his friend wasn’t there, he called us and we began searching." On Saturday, a woman who identified herself as Clouatre’s wife described how she loved Craig"with every single fiber of me."

A GoFundMe created to help the family describes how the Clouatres"lost almost everything" in a house fire two years ago."Anyone who has met Craig, had a friend in him," the page states."He was a man full of joy and kindness. And more then anything, he loved his family."
