Help Support Cyrus’s Family During This Unimaginable Tragedy
On Father’s Day, Cyrus and his father, Cy Pratt were spending the day together fishing at Swan Falls Dam. While attempting to cross the river, 19-year-old Cyrus lost his footing and was swept away by the powerful current.
Without hesitation, his father entered the water in an attempt to save him. A courageous bystander also joined the rescue effort. Tragically, the strength of the rapids prevented them from reaching Cyrus.
Search and Rescue teams, law enforcement officers, and dive teams have worked tirelessly to locate him, but the search remains ongoing. As time passes, there is a possibility that official search efforts may be scaled back or suspended if Cyrus is not found.
This unimaginable tragedy has placed an enormous emotional and financial burden on Cyrus’s family. We are creating this fundraiser to help relieve some of those burdens, including lost wages from time away from work, travel expenses, immediate family needs, and any continued private search and recovery efforts that may become necessary.
Anyone who knew Cyrus knows what a special young man he is. He is deeply loved by his family, friends, and community. To know Cyrus is to love him. He has touched countless lives with his kind heart, infectious smile, and caring spirit.
The family has always been the first to help others in times of need. Now, they need our support.
Please consider donating, sharing this fundraiser, and keeping Cyrus, Cy, Esther, Ashlee, and their entire family in your thoughts and prayers during this heartbreaking time. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps ease the burden and allows the family to focus on what matters most.
Thank you for your love, support, and generosity.
Update: With heavy hearts, we share that Cyrus has been recovered. We are incredibly grateful to the search and rescue teams, law enforcement, volunteers, and community members who dedicated countless hours to bringing him home. We would like to express our deepest thanks to everyone who prayed, shared his story, donated, and supported the Pratt family during this difficult time. Your kindness, compassion, and generosity have meant more than words can express. Please continue to share this fundraiser and keep Cyrus’s family in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate the difficult days ahead. Thank you all for your love and support.
