Sam Monastra, the owner and founder of Colorado Mountain Kava in Longmont, Colorado, has reportedly died following an accident, leaving friends, customers and members of the community mourning a man who touched many lives during his short life.

News of Monastra’s passing was shared through a tribute connected to Colorado Mountain Kava, where an upcoming trivia night was dedicated to his memory. The message described Sam as someone who had touched countless lives and said the community would do its best to carry on his legacy.

“We will all miss you friend, rest well,” the tribute said, reflecting the deep personal loss felt by those who knew him.

Monastra was a recognized figure in Colorado’s growing kava community. He opened Colorado Mountain Kava in downtown Longmont in October 2021, creating a gathering place centered on kava, community and alcohol-free socializing. Profiles of the business describe Monastra as one of the pioneers of Colorado’s expanding kava-bar scene.

His vision went beyond simply operating a business. In an interview about Colorado’s kava community, Monastra described Colorado Mountain Kava as increasingly becoming a place centered on community and connection. The business offered customers a social environment where they could gather, relax and participate in events without the traditional bar setting.

The news of his reported death has therefore resonated particularly strongly among people connected to the Longmont establishment. The decision to continue trivia night in his honor reflects the community’s desire to remember him through the place and relationships he helped build.

Details surrounding the reported accident, including when and where it occurred, have not been provided in the tribute shared publicly. His family and those closest to him are now facing the loss of a business owner, friend and community figure whose influence extended beyond the walls of Colorado Mountain Kava.

As tributes continue, friends and patrons are remembering Sam Monastra for the community he created and the many lives he touched.
