Young boy loses his life in a rare ‘one-in-a-million’ skiing accident while on a trip with his entire family

Just before New Year, the Murray family of Weymouth, Massachusetts, lost their son Jack during a skiing accident described as “one-in-a-million.”

As he enjoyed the snow, sweet Jack struck a tree while on an intermediate trail. He was 12 years old.

The police confirmed that at the time of the tragedy, Jack had his safety gear on, including a helmet.

He was found unconscious and was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

At the time of his tragic passing, he was surrounded by his parents, his brother, his cousin, and his uncle.

Speaking of his son, Jake’s dad told WCVB, “He was skiing on a trail that was well within his ability. He was wearing his helmet and safety gear. Just kind of a one-in-a-million accident that, unfortunately, cut his life too short.”

Although he was still very young, Jake had accomplished a lot.

His obituary read: “Jack is the most magical little boy and was on his way to becoming a truly exceptional man. His positivity and laughter are infectious. He is a loving and patient person who always sees the best in people.

“Despite his short life he did more in twelve years than most do in a lifetime. He was an artist and musician who loved to draw, paint, build, invent, play trombone and drums.”

“He was an entrepreneur who started an eBay store to sell thrift store finds. [Jack] sold cookies to local restaurants and sold and drew caricatures for the neighborhood with his friends.

“He even created a clothing brand, shirt designs and built an online store all by himself. Jack has a passion for everything in life, he is a soccer player, assistant coach for Finn’s team and referee in Weymouth Youth Soccer.

Family handout

“He was on the Chapman Wrestling team, loved basketball, paddle boarding with his mother, swimming, boating with his father, and movies at the Cameo with friends.”

Jack’s family started a GoFundMe page that has helped raise over $100,000 so far.

That tragic skiing accident affected their lives forever.

Our thoughts and prayers go to Jack’s grieving family.
