Renner is an ‘honorary deputy sheriff’ in the area

To many, Renner is better known as Hawkeye, but did you know he holds another special title in his community?

“He’s an honorary deputy sheriff,” Balaam explained. “When I took over in 2019, he came on and with his popularity among the Marvels kids, he’s had a huge impact. Those kids he touched during Shop with the Sheriff – he showed up and got went shopping with our kids – I can guarantee they will never forget that time they had.

“He shared his time with us there and not only went shopping with a few kids, but interacted with the kids,” Balaam added.

“Throughout the community, he has been very generous. He’s one of those people that I can tell you most of the time you don’t know he does, but he had a huge impact on that community.

Snowcat accidents are not uncommon

Although this was a “tragic” incident, it was not a freak accident. While Balaam couldn’t provide specific numbers or statistics on how often this type of Snowcat incident occurs, he said, “I should probably tell you that there are always at least some – because this type of Snowcat is what you would see at ski resorts – that there are always these types of injuries or accidents that happen.. That exact number, I don’t know.

There was no doctor on site despite previous reports

According to earlier reports, Renner’s neighbor, a doctor, saved his life by putting a tourniquet on his leg.
