Stephen Douglas Gragg died attempting to save Aaron Wayne Gragg from drowning, Buckner, Missouri, February 4, 1988. Aaron, 11, fell through the ice on a small pond and called for help. His brother, Stephen, 8, student, immediately ran onto the ice for him; nearing the hole, he slid into the open water and submerged. Another brother went onto the ice for the boys; he too broke through. Firemen arrived shortly and pulled the boys from the pond, but none of them could be revived.
