Family, Friends Gather To Memorialize Boy Killed By Snowmobiler

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A Minnesota family returns to the lake where a tragedy took the life of their little boy.

Late last month, the Geisenkoetter family went to Chisago Lake to go ice fishing. But a family outing turned tragic when 8-year-old Alan Geisenkoetter Jr. and his father were hit by a snowmobile driver.

Alan Jr. died several days later.

Saturday, the second grader was remembered through one of his favorite hobbies.

There is a GoFundMe page to help the family with funeral expenses.
