PRESCOTT, Ariz. (AP) — A Mayer-area couple say they're still coming to grips with the loss of their 6-year-old son after he was killed by northern Arizona floodwaters last month.
The body of Jacob Baudek was recovered from the Agua Fria River on Jan. 23, two days after he was swept away by rising waters as his family tried to take him to a hospital for treatment in their pickup truck.
David and Katrina Baudek attended a fundraiser Sunday organized by a Prescott bar, which planned to give 25 percent of the proceeds to a fund for the family.
The Baudeks plan to donate the money raised in their son's honor to buy swift water rescue equipment for the Mayer Fire Department and to send kids to camp.
