If there was a big event in the Pikes Peak Region, there was a pretty good chance Tom Osborne had something to do with it. He either helped bring it here, keep it here or grow it to bigger and greater heights.
So when the Broadmoor Bluffs resident died in his sleep last Wednesday morning at age 65, those he worked with and rubbed shoulders with were stunned.
“Tom had a passion for sports and event management,” said Doug Martin, who worked under Osborne as the chief operating officer of the Colorado Springs Sports Corporation. “Very early on here, he realized the role the organization should play in the community. He loved sports. He loved the community. He was passionate about everything he did.”
