Alaska father dies after motorcycle ride in memory of his daughter

A father in Alaska died during a memorial service marking the fifth anniversary of his daughter’s death.

Shortly after 1:30 p.m. local time on Sunday, June 2, Timothy Hoffman lost control of his motorcycle during a memorial ride in Wasilla, Alaska, near mile 49 of the Parks Highway, Alaska State Troopers said in a news release.

Hoffman, who state police said was not wearing a helmet, veered off the left side of the road and rolled into the median.

Hoffman and his passenger, later identified by the Anchorage Daily News and his wife Barbara “Jeanie” Hoffman were found unconscious and taken to the local hospital with life-threatening injuries. The police noted in the press release that the passenger was wearing a full-face helmet.

Hoffman was pronounced dead at the hospital. He was 58 years old.

Jeanie remains in critical condition with a fractured skull, a broken back and broken bones, said Tanya Chaison, the fiancée of Hoffman’s twin brother, according to the Anchorage Daily News.

Chaison told the outlet that Jeanie underwent surgery on Sunday, the first of many surgeries she will need during her recovery.

Jeanie and her husband are the parents of Cynthia Hoffman, who died on June 2, 2019 at the age of 19 in a contract killing involving her best friend Denali Brehmer.

As PEOPLE previously reported, Brehmer had begun an online relationship with Darin Schilmiller, who posed as a man named “Tyler” and claimed to be a millionaire from Kansas. He allegedly offered Brehmer $9 million if he killed someone and sent him pictures and videos of the murder.

Brehmer and another friend, Kayden McIntosh, allegedly drove Cynthia to Thunderbird Falls, bound her with duct tape, and took photographs of her. McIntosh allegedly shot Hoffman in the back of the head. McIntosh and Brehmer then allegedly dumped Cynthia’s body in the river.

In January, the Alaska Department of Law announced that Schilmiller was sentenced to 99 years in prison without parole after pleading guilty to a charge of solicitation of first-degree murder.

Brehmer, who pleaded guilty to first-degree murder, was sentenced in February to 99 years in prison without parole and classified as a “most serious offender,” the Alaska Department of Law said in a separate press release.

McIntosh pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in May. Sentencing is scheduled to begin on Thursday, November 14.

Two other juveniles were also arraigned in juvenile court for their alleged involvement in the case, according to the Daily news from Anchorage.
