The life of a Warrick County boy is remembered at the Boonville spray park in a way that will bring smiles for generations to come. Three year-old Jeb Gourley died tragically last summer when he fell out of his dads bulldozer and was pulled underneath. His parents wanted to make sure that his death was not in vein, so they spent the last year raising money to make sure other kids would never forget him. Cathy Gourleys family raised more than 25-thousand dollars in the year following his death. They used a large portion to donate a frog, whale and turtle for other kids to enjoy at the Boonville spray park. The water park opened Memorial Day weekend, with the addition of the new equipment.
