Abby Jackson of Business Insider writes about its former intern Trevor Cadigan, who died Sunday at the age of 26 in a helicopter crash in New York.

“‘He was very enthusiastic and was certainly an overachiever,’ said Sara Silverstein, a Business Insider editor.
“Friends and colleagues said he was someone who gave his time and energy selflessly, even when there was no personal gain.
“‘He’d constantly ask to help me, and anyone around him, if he could help, just because,’ a friend and former Business Insider colleague, Corey Protin, said. ‘There were no strings attached.’
“Cadigan, who dressed daily in a suit and tie for work, wasn’t afraid to stand out. But his seriousness for his job didn’t get in the way of his affability and ability to make friends everywhere he went.”
