Prayers for the family. I hope some details come out, so that Mabey we can learn from this. My kids wake board and I’ve seen some bad crashes but never a severe injury or death. I wonder if a helmet would of helped. What a tragedy 😞

Why name names so early after the death. I feel its sooo disrespectful to the family. Give them some privacy.

Whats right is to give the family some space. No name need to be posted until all family is notified of the death. As a mother i would be horrifyed to find out on fb that my child, spouse or loved one had died. So to post the persons name on social media just mere hours after the death is heartbreaking and wrong wrong wrong!

We also have friends who wakeboard at Ruth. Scary, and hope it’s not them. The name kinda eliminates worry about those it isn’t too. Accidents happen. it’s doesn’t make it go away by pretending it didn’t happen. It will be hard to confront it today, or ten years from now.

As long as it’s just a first name I feel it’s ok, imo, now I know it’s not my family member which are all out there but I couldn’t make it this weekend, I was freaking out until I heard the name, if it was a name I recognized I would be headed that way and trying to contact someone to make sure , condolences to all involved I’m so sorry for your loss.

Somebody with kind words that knows the person involved is not disrespectful. Someone who doesn’t know the person involved telling others how to act and mourn…. Now that is disrespectful! If you think there is only one John in this world you should have your head checked!

Rest in peace person who is a stranger to me.I hope it was quick and you felt no pain. Condolences to the family or families even though those words wont help right now. Read the positive comments and nothing else. This person isn’t just a nother story to you. Inevitably some comments may cause pain. I hope mine does not. Hug eachother close and I am thinking of those left behind .May peace be with you all eventually, that is my hope. My heart goes out to you.

I’m glad they named his first name. My first worry was one of my family members. Prayers and condolences to the family.

What I do not understand is why are all of you having hateful words between each other behind the horrible death of an individual. To me that’s just wrong.
