The three friends were transported by air ambulance to HCMC. Two others, Carter Timm, 20, of Echo and Jacob Lymer, 18, Wood Lake, were treated at the Avera Granite Falls hospital.
They had all joined around the bonfire to share memories and console one another over the loss the preceding day of their friend and fellow Lakeview graduate, Parker Viaene, 20. Viaene had died in an ATV accident on April 10.
While Viaene’s loss is being grieved, many are looking for ways to assist the three young men. Accounts have been started to collect donations for the three victims to help them and their families with all of the expenses they face for medical care, as well as the lost income they need for rent and other needs.
