Keith Bychinski Obituary: Keith will be remembered as a true HERO. He was helping two young boys retrieve their fishing gear, when he tragically lost his life in the midst of helping them.
Keith was a kind hearted, helpful, and positive person. He was always thinking of others and lending a helpful hand to those in need.
The person who was taken from a pond last week and later found deceased has been identified by Waukee police.
On August 8, at approximately 3:30 p.m., authorities were called to the 2500 block of Grand Prairie Parkway in reference to a drowning.
Two boys lost their fishing pole when they were out on the pond, according to the Waukee Fire Department. The youngsters contacted 911 when a man who had been working in the vicinity started to struggle after going into the river to recover the pole.
A few hours later, the man—now known as Earlham resident Keith Bychinski, 31—was taken out of the water unconscious.
