<\/p>\nHeimo Korth is one of the leading cast of Discovery Channel\u2019s reality TV show, The Last Alaskans. The eccentric and energetic man, who has been living far from civilization for over four decades, has become a TV star because of his lifestyle. This has led many people to wonder about his family lived in the mountains. If you\u2019re one of them, you\u2019ve come to the right place.<\/p>\n
Korth is an American outdoorsman who has been living in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge since he was a teenager. He was born on April 17, 1955.<\/p>\n
In his early days, he lived a blue-collar life as a welder in Wisconsin. He decided to leave the city comforts during his teenage and went to live in the mountains. Since then he has never looked back, even in the hardest of the days.<\/p>\n

Korth is a married man. He is married to a Yupik Eskimo named Edna. The couple has been each other\u2019s greatest support in life. They are the last year-round residents and a few of the last of their kind left in Arctic Alaska. The Korths have three daughters as of now.<\/p>\n
Heimo and Edna had their first baby, a daughter, on May 29, 1982. They named her Coleen Ann Korth after the Coleen River. Before Coleen, Edna had a daughter named Millie from her previous marriage. Millie lived with Edna and Heimo after her parents separated and she was very close to her half-sister.<\/p>\n
In 1984, an unfortunate incident took Coleen\u2019s life. It was only five days past her second birthday when she drowned in a river accident. The Korths never recovered her body, but Heimo constructed a cross to serve as a gravestone for his baby. On the gravestone, he carved \u201cColeen Ann Korth 5\/29\/82. Died 6\/3\/84.\u201d The couple carried the cross to the top of a small peak and placed it there.<\/p>\n
Following Coleen\u2019s death, many of their friends and relatives insisted them to return. However, they declined the proposal saying that leaving the place behind would be like leaving Coleen behind. The couple petitioned the Board of Geographic Names to have an unnamed peak designated as Coleen Ann Mountain, but the board did not accept their proposal saying that Coleen was of \u201cno historical significance.\u201d<\/p>\n
