On Wednesday, June 12, 2013, at approximately 16:00, operator, his wife and four children went out in a fishing boat belonging to Wife's father who was camping with the family at Fisherman's Beach, Otter Creek Reservoir. As the family boated onto the lake Wife's hat blew off and into the lake. their 12 year old son said he would jump into the lake to retrieve it. Wife told him not to but he did anyway. He was not wearing a life jacket at the time. The temperature of the water and the fact the wind was blowing caused significant waves and made it difficult for him to return to the boat. When Operator realized his son was in trouble, he jumped in to save him. Operator was not wearing a life jacket either. Soon, Operator was in trouble as well, finding it difficult to assist his son back to the boat. He managed to give Son a final push toward the boat before slipping under the water and not resurfacing. Wife and the girls got hold of Son and pulled him back in the boat and began yelling to Wife's parents on shore. After some time, Subject heard their cries for help and ran down to the water's edge. She said Son was still in the water but she never saw Operator. After wife’s father and Subject assisted the family back on shore, Subject went to the Otter Creek Marina and called 911. Piute County Ambulance and Sheriff's Department responded. Park Ranger  responded immediately with his boat. He and owner searched the water from their boats before help arrived but Operator had not resurfaced. Sevier, Sanpete, and Washington Counties sent search and rescue as well as divers to the scene to assist with recovering Operator's body. At approximately 20:20, Operator's body was hooked by the Park Ranger's boat and was pulled from the lake. The Ranger's reading of the water was a surface temperature of approximately 60 degrees and the body was located in 15-20 feet of water. Operator's brother, had arrived at the scene prior to the body recovery. He gave a positive identification before Piute County Ambulance transported Operator to Magelby's Mortuary for funeral arrangements to be made.
