Regan Hunt, Helped Accident Victims: "I heard someone say, 'They're going over the waterfall.' I tried to get out as fast as I could."

That's when Regan Hunt, a trained lifeguard, ran over to his friends Logan Gerratt and Parker Bradford and began doing CPR. Other people called for help and an ambulance soon arrived. Parker was taken to Portneuf Medical Center in critical condition. Logan went to Madison Memorial Hospital in stable condition.

Logan Gerratt, Survived Accident: "The night I got out of the hospital, me and my parents went and saw him. [It was] the night before he died."

Parker passed away on Saturday, July 21...two days after the accident. During the commotion of that horrible night, he had a chance to be rescued. Instead, he yelled for help and tried to rescue his friend Logan.

Gerratt: "He could have held on long enough that Regan or someone could have pulled him out. He could have got out."

Nate Eaton, Newswatch 3: "But instead he jumped in after you."

Gerratt: "Yes."

Eaton: "I can't imagine that. What is that like?"

Gerratt: "It's really hard."

Eaton: "What keeps you going?"

Gerratt: "The friends, the support."

Friends like Regan, who risked his life by dangling from a rope as he tried to grab the boys.

Hunt: "I'm a swimmer so I wasn't really thinking that I'd be a causality but I had the rope. I love those boys. It was unbelievable how fast we developed friendships. I would have done anything for them."

Eaton: "To think a month ago you didn't even know them."

Hunt: "I know."

Parker's funeral was last Saturday. Friends from all over the world came to say goodbye.

Gerratt: "Best kid I've ever met. He was awesome. Nice to everyone."

Hunt: "Just the funniest kid, always smiling, just everything. What's there not like about him."

Parker loved sports and was talented at playing drums. He was planning on serving an LDS mission in six months, but his friends say two weeks ago he was called on a different mission.

Gerratt: "I know he's in a better place and we can see him again. He's got work to do that's why he's gone."

Hunt: "Heavenly Father wanted to take him and have him start his heavenly mission."

Logan and Regan know they're see Parker again someday, and they believe he's helping them through this hard time.

If he were here right now...

Hunt: "I'd give him a huge hug and tell him I love him. I really miss him."

Gerratt: "I love you man and we know you're doing what you're supposed to. He was called on his mission six months early."

Logan received injuries on his head and has staples in his scalp. Regan broke his wrist as he tried to hang on to the rope.

A music scholarship for drummers has been set up at BYU-Idaho in remembrance of Parker. To make a donation, call 1-800-227-4257 or visit www.ldsphilanthropies.org specifically mentioning Parker's name.
