1:17Now PlayingA lightning strike killed a Colorado rancher and 34 head of cattle over the weekend, officials said Sunday.
Mike Morgan, 51, was feeding his cattle from a trailer when he was struck and died on the scene despite life-saving efforts, the Jackson County Sheriff's Office said.
The lightning bolt struck on wide open pasture outside the town of Rand, about 80 miles northwest of Denver, said George Crocket, the county coroner.
"He was the absolute best husband and father we could have ever asked for," Morgan's wife, Nikole Morgan, and 17-year-old daughter, Dallas Morgan, said in a statement. "We were blessed for this short amount of time we were given with him."
Nikole Morgan said she and Mike would have celebrated 27 years of marriage this July.
