Andrew Novecosky’s Facebook post says that the two men were his family members. One of the two men was his son Joe Novecosky and the other man was his brother Chris Novecosky. They both passed away during the attempt to save a woman and two girls who fell through the ice on the lake.

Andrew wrote,

“I would like to pay tribute to my brother Chris who gave his life with my son Joe in (an) attempt to rescue his cousins who had fallen through the ice on the lake.

“I love my little brother and have so many special memories of him. I’m consoled knowing as a ‘martyr of service’ that he and Joe are with Jesus and the saints and so many family members who have gone before to heaven.”

The Saskatchewan Coroners Service confirmed that a 7-year-old girl, 28-year-old man Joe, and 38-year-old man Chris had drowned. That 7-year-old girl Ava Novecosky was a 2nd-grade student at St. Dominic School in Humboldt.
