A new life jacket loaner station at Wehrspann Lake honors 19-year-old Wyatt Bernal, who drowned after falling from his canoe — a tragedy his mother, Michala Stepanek, believes could’ve been prevented with a life jacket. Partnering with the Papio Missouri River Natural Resources District, Stepanek helped turn grief into action, creating a memorial station where jackets are signed by loved ones and reminders of water safety are everywhere. Costing just $500, this pilot project aims to save lives and is already inspiring plans to expand across regional reservoirs — turning a heartbreaking loss into a powerful call for safety on every body of water.
