ACES Founder, Chris Summers Dies

He was the Belizean version of Crocodile Dundee and was known all over for his fearlessness of crocodiles and snakes. On Sunday, news broke of the death of Chris Summers, the founder and director of operations at the Aces Wildlife Rescue. Summers was the backbone of the organization since its inception, traveling the length and breadth of Belize to rescue trapped or tortured crocodiles or to remove others that posed a threat to humans and other forms of life in residential communities. Aside from crocs, Summers was also called to remove snakes that had found their way into people’s yards and homes. On Sunday, ACES posted on its Facebook page that Summers passed away at his island home. Today the organization informed that it awaits the family of Summers to arrive and deal with the memorial and funeral arrangements.
