Anson Lemmer had no way of knowing that on his last delivery order of the night of June 15 for Uncle Pizza in Glenwood, he would perform CPR and help with a potentially life-saving rescue.

“I called my parents and said, ‘This has been the craziest pizza delivery ever. I left a pizza boy and came back a pizza man,'” Lemmer said. “They were proud of me. Totally unexpected thing.”

Lemmer, 19, of Denver is staying in Glenwood with his parents to work over the summer. Only two days after starting with Uncle Pizza, this incident occurred.

When he arrived at the address on Valley View Road with a hot pizza, he saw a man turning blue outside of the house. Two other people were with the man — one attempting CPR and one on the phone calling it in.

“It’s important to not get caught up in the bystander effect,” said Lemmer, who was trained in CPR a year ago. “I felt a couple of ribs break. He’s going to wake up with sore ribs.”
