On July 5, Captain John Pace of the Ohio Township Fire Department was boating with his family when a tragic accident occurred. His five-year-old son, Jentry, suffered critical injuries after being struck by a boat propeller. Captain Pace immediately pulled Jentry from the water and brought him safely to shore, where they were met by a conservation officer. Using a tourniquet provided by the officer, Captain Pace helped stabilize his son until emergency medical care arrived. Jentry was then transported to Norton Children's Hospital in Louisville, where he has undergone multiple surgeries.
Jentry pulled past his initial injuries, but it is still uncertain whether his leg can be saved. He continues to face additional surgeries, followed by what is expected to be a long and challenging recovery. Captain Pace and his wife, Jana, are standing by Jentry's side every step of the way while also caring for their two daughters during this difficult time. The entire Pace family is facing an overwhelming emotional and physical journey together, so let’s pull together some love and financial support while they face this fight.
