Marvin Alexan Fernandez Chicas was a loving father and hardworking man, who tragically lost his life in Lake Nockamixon, Pennsylvania, on Thursday.
He was fishing with his three-year-old son Dylan, and some friends when the tragedy happened. His heroic actions of saving two children from drowning cost him his own life.
Lesly Canaca, the wife of one of Chicas’ brothers, described him as a “hero for everyone”. Haycock Township Fire Chief Harry Grim told WFMZ that the children got into trouble in the water and Chicas went in to help them, but he sadly couldn’t swim.
Canaca wrote that Chicas “was a very hardworking man, an excellent father” and that “they were always going to see him with his son everywhere, that little one didn’t leave his dad’s side”.
It is devastating to know that this selfless and brave act of heroism resulted in the loss of a beloved family member. Chicas’ family have set up a GoFundMe page to help cover the cost of his funeral, and a tribute to the father who gave his life to save two children.
