An upstate New York father-to-be who died while assembling a gender reveal device for a celebration was known for being very mechanically inclined and could fix anything.
Christopher Pekny, age 28, of the town of Liberty in Sullivan County on the edge of the border of the Catskills and the Hudson Valley, was killed around 11:55 a.m., Sunday, Feb. 21, at a residence on the Lt. JG Brender Highway, said Trooper Steve Nevel of the New York State Police.
An investigation revealed that Christopher Pekny was building a device to be used at a child gender reveal party when it exploded, killing him and injuring his brother, Michael Pekny, age 27, also of Liberty, Nevel said.
