Jim Crown, an executive and philanthropist who recently announced an effort to rally other business leaders to help fight violent crime in Chicago, died Sunday in a car crash on a racing track in Colorado. He was 70.

Peter Burling of Team New Zealand mastered tricky light winds on Lake Michigan to win a slow-speed drag race against rival Tom Slingsby and three-time defending champion Australia in the podium race of the opening regatta in Season 4 of tech titan Larry Ellison’s global league.

“Jim was a pillar of Chicago, a prominent voice in the Jewish community, and a true civic leader who loved our city,” former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama said in a. “He cared deeply about Chicago and making it a place where everyone could thrive — no matter who they are or what part of town they call home.”

He also was managing partner of Aspen Skiing Co. He had been serving as lead director at General Dynamics Corp. and as a director at JPMorgan Chase, his family said in a release. Born in Chicago in 1953, Crown earned a bachelor’s in political science in 1976 from Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts. He received his law degree in 1980 from Stanford Law School, his family said.
