Respect and admiration

A Hero's Memorial

Onslow - 6/4/2010

Strong rip currents caught a father and a son off guard over the Memorial Day weekend. Jeremy Crandall got them safely to shore but he didn't make it back alive.

His family and community said goodbyes to the hero Friday night at a memorial service in Jacksonville.

While many people just found out how important this man was to our local community, those who gathered for his service say they are not surprised by the sacrifice he made to save someone he's never met.

Most of Jerry's family is from Michigan, and they were not able to make it to Friday's memorial service. His brother says they are sticking together and trying to make it through this tough time, but its just going to take some time.

Crandall has two little girls, Lillian and Haven. A memorial fund is set up for them. You can donate to the "Jeremy Lee Crandall Fund" at First Citizens bank or at any Walmart store.

Jeremy Crandall salvou um pai e filho e acabou por morrer.


Jeremy Crandall, um surfista de 31 anos de Emerald Isle, Jacksonville, Estados Unidos da América, morreu afogado após ter evitado uma tragédia.

Num dia em que as correntes estavam com muita força, Crandall deparou-se com duas pessoas, um pai e um filho, que estavam com grandes dificuldades em lidar com as condições. Perante a situação, o surfista deu a sua prancha às duas pessoas para que estas pudessem usá-la como bóia de salvamento e chegarem à areia.

Todavia, o próprio Crandall, perante a força das correntes, não conseguiu salvar-se e acabou por morrer afogado, deixando a esposa e dois filhos.

A comunidade local e a família do falecido não ficaram surpreendidos com a atitude do surfista, afirmando que ajudar ou outros eram um dos seus inabaláveis princípios, dentro ou fora de água.
