BRIAN MARQUARDT
Falls Youth Dies Swimming In Quarry
A Sheboygan Falls youth became the first drowning victim in the county this year, while swimming with his father Sunday afternoon at the Sheboygan Quarry.
He was Brian Lee Marquardt, 17, of 235 Mill Street, whose body was recovered by a life guard a short time after the youth’s father reported him missing about 5 p.m.
Efforts to revive the youth were made at the scene by several life guards and police officers before police transported him to Sheboygan Memorial Hospital where further resuscitative efforts were made in the hospital’s emergency room.
He was pronounced dead about a half hour after he was admitted to the hospital.
Brian, who had reportedly suffered from epilepsy, had been swimming with his father, Lee Marquardt, of 2102 Cooper Ave.
According to a police report, the boy had suffered an epileptic seizure the previous day and was taking medication for the illness.
Mr. Marquardt told police that he and his son had swum out to the far raft where, the father said, he then left his son and swam back to the beach to lie on the sand.
A short time later, the father related, he began searching for his son when he no longer saw him on the raft.
The father said he checked the entire beach area, their car, and after looking for his son for about an half hour he informed a life guard that the boy was missing.
Life guards immediately began searching the swimming area and at 5:04 p.m., police were summoned.
Shortly thereafter, life guard Brian Werner, of 703 Birch Tree Road, located the body and brought it to a raft where Werner and three other life guards attempted CPR.
Police then rowed a boat out to the raft, and the boy was brought to shore where police continued CPR efforts and administered oxygen. (Turn to Page 4, Col. 1)
From Page 1…Drowning. It was the first drowning at the Sheboygan Quarry since July of 1979.
The last drowning in Sheboygan County occurred in the fall of 1984 when the body of a 30-year-old Sheboygan woman was recovered along the Lake Michigan shoreline of Terry Andrae State Park.
The Marquardt youth was born Aug. 14, 1967 in Manitowoc, a son of Lee and Bernette Gallenberger Marqurdt. He attended Oshkosh North High School, entering his senior year, where he was a member of the school’s cross country team.
He was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Sheboygan Falls.
Survivors include his mother, Mrs. Robert (Bernette) Davis, Sheboygan Falls; his father, Lee Marquardt, Sheboygan; one brother, Gary of Fort Bliss, Tex.; a sister, Lynda of Sheboygan, and his maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Gallenberger, Manitowoc.
One brother and his paternal grandparents preceded him in death.
The funeral Mass will be offered at 11 a.m. Wednesday at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Sheboygan Falls, with the Rev. Jerome Stoll, pastor, as celebrant. Brief family services will precede the Mass at 10:30 a.m. at the Huehns Funeral Home in Sheboygan Falls. Burial will be in Evergreen Cemetery at Manitowoc.
Friends may call at the funeral home after 4 p.m. Tuesday and on Wednesday until the time of services.
A parish vigil will be held Tuesday at 8 p.m. at the funeral home.
