Дълбоко сме потресени от вестта за трагичната кончина на Иво. Той притежаваше истински хъс за живот и успя да докосне с него много хора по света. Ще ни липсва страшно! Молим се заедно със семейството и приятелите му в такъв труден момент.
На тази страница основаваме фонд, с който да помогнем за поемане на разходите по завръщане на тялото му в България, където ще намери последен покой. Всяка сума, с която можете да се включите, колкото и малка да е тя, ще бъде оценена високо от семейството и приятелите.
Благодарим на Иво за ведростта и вдъхновението, които донесе на този свят. Паметта му ще пребъде и той винаги ще остане в сърцата и душите ни. Духът му ще ни пази докато дойде време да се срещнем в един по-добър свят.

For the time being, here is the Calgary Herald article that I have corrected with the correct details. I will post a more detailed account of what happened in the future.
Yoho ice climbing victim was experienced outdoorsman

The man killed on the weekend in an ice-climbing accident in B.C. was no stranger to the mountains.
Ivo Minkov, 28, died Sunday when he fell 60 metres while climbing an ice wall with a friend in Yoho National Park near Field, B.C.
His death saddened former colleagues at the University of Calgary, where Minkov did a year of research after getting a PhD in theoretical chemistry at the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden.
He was a very private man, very quiet," said professor Tom Ziegler, who heads a theoretical chemistry research group. Minkov worked with the group between 2006 and 2007.
"He was very conscientious and had great integrity with his work."
Theoretical chemistry uses computer models to simulate and predict chemical reactions, Ziegler said. It has applications in many industries, such as the development of pharmaceuticals and petrochemical technologies.
Minkov went back to his native Bulgaria after his stint at the U of C, but Ziegler had heard his former colleague had returned to Calgary looking for work in his field.
Ziegler didn't know Minkov well enough to know about his alpine pursuits, but the younger man's passion for climbing could be seen on the Internet.
Minkov listed climbing as one of his hobbies on his resume and had uploaded several photos to a website devoted to climbing.
On Sunday, he and a female climbing partner were scaling a popular route called Guinness on Mount Dennis, just west of the provincial boundary between Alberta and B.C.
The RCMP said Minkov was climbing with his common-law wife, but a friend said the woman was a close friend who had accompanied him that day.
Minkov has a common-law spouse, but she wasn't climbing with him Sunday, the friend said.
Investigators said Minkov somehow lost his grip on the face of the ice wall and fell to his death. The RCMP said Minkov was an experienced climber and that he and his friend were using ropes.
