Over the weekend, two young boys, Sam Jessen and Alexander Mick, tragically lost their lives in separate incidents involving tractor-pulled hayrides. It all happened during Halloween haunted hayride events in two different states in the US, just one day apart. The eerie similarity between the two accidents has left many shaken and heartbroken.
The first incident occurred on Friday night at the Haunted Hilltop Halloween event in Harrison, Tennessee. Sam Jessen, a 13-year-old, was among a group of teenagers who were playfully trying to spook the hayride passengers from behind some bushes. However, things took a devastating turn when one of the juveniles attempted to jump onto the trailer and ended up slipping and falling underneath the wheels. Sam was found unresponsive and despite the efforts of the first responders, he could not be saved. The Hamilton County Sheriff's Office, who responded to the call, stated that they would not be sharing further details as the victim was a minor. The agency also expressed their condolences to Sam's family and friends and asked for the community to keep them in their thoughts and prayers. A GoFundMe page has been set up to support the grieving family and has already raised over $34,000.
The next day, tragedy struck again at the Harvest of Horror Haunted Hayride in St Augusta, Minnesota. 13-year-old Alexander Mick was run over by a trolley wagon pulled by a tractor. Despite the efforts of event workers and bystanders, including an off-duty medic and cop, Alexander could not be saved. The Stearns County Sheriff's Office identified him as an eighth-grader from Sauk Rapids-Rice Middle School who was involved in various activities such as soccer, band, choir, and robotics. As the investigation into the incident continues, his community remembers him as a kind, helpful, and tech-savvy boy with an infectious smile and a great sense of humor.
Both Sam and Alexander's families and friends are mourning the loss of these young boys, who had so much life left to live. The sudden and tragic nature of their deaths has left everyone in shock and disbelief. As the communities come together to support the grieving families, they are also reminded to cherish their loved ones and hold them close. These incidents serve as a heartbreaking reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of safety precautions during festive events. And as we remember Sam and Alexander, let us also remember to spread love and kindness, just like they did when they were with us.
