With profound sadness, family, friends, and members of the Wabasha, Minnesota, community<\/strong> are mourning the heartbreaking loss of Ashley Monson, 37, Manuel De Angel-Sola, 52, and Nicholas Loechler, 46<\/strong>, whose lives ended following a tragic pontoon boat crash on Lake Pepin<\/strong> in Wabasha County.<\/p>\n

The devastating incident unfolded at approximately 10:45 p.m. on Saturday, July 11, 2026, after the Pepin County Sheriff\u2019s Office received a 911 call reporting that people were crying out for help from the waters of Lake Pepin. Emergency responders soon discovered an overturned pontoon boat near the YMCA Camp on Deer Island.<\/p>\n

Three survivors were found clinging to the overturned vessel and were rescued. They told first responders that three additional people had been aboard the boat and were missing. A large-scale search-and-rescue operation was immediately launched, involving law enforcement, fire departments, emergency crews, and rescue agencies from both Minnesota and Wisconsin.<\/p>\n

The search effort included rescue boats, drones, helicopters, and specialized equipment as crews worked tirelessly to locate the missing boaters. Despite the dedication and efforts of responders, Ashley Monson, Manuel De Angel-Sola, and Nicholas Loechler were later found deceased.<\/p>\n

According to Wabasha Mayor Brian Quinn, two of the victims were members of the fire service family, making the loss especially painful for their fellow responders and the community they served. Their deaths have left a deep void among those who knew them and those who admired their commitment to helping others.<\/p>\n

Ashley, Manuel, and Nicholas will be remembered for the lives they lived, the relationships they built, and the memories they created with their loved ones. Their presence brought meaning and joy to many, and their absence will be deeply felt by family, friends, neighbors, and the entire Wabasha community.<\/p>\n

As loved ones grieve this unimaginable loss, they are surrounded by prayers, compassion, and support from a community standing beside them. The tragedy serves as a reminder of how precious life is and how quickly moments can change.<\/p>\n

May the cherished memories of Ashley Monson, Manuel De Angel-Sola, and Nicholas Loechler bring comfort and strength to everyone who knew and loved them.<\/p>\n

Their lives ended far too soon, but their memories will continue to live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know them. May they rest in eternal peace and never be forgotten.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
