The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has reported that a Florida man was killed by lightning while boating Sunday night.

FWC, the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office, and Brevard County Fire Rescue responded to a call after hearing reports that a boat had been struck by lightning in the Indian River, roughly 50 miles southeast of Orlando.

Emergency personnel performed “life saving measures” on the boat operator, 39-year-old West Melbourne resident Peter Strong, but he was later pronounced dead. Minor injuries were sustained by one passenger, who was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment.

A GoFundMe has been created to help generates funds for the family

As most know my name is Alicia and my dad, Peter Kurasz, was diagnosed with stage 4 small cell lung cancer Jan 2022. Although chemo and Keytruda did a great job of shrinking the lung cancer, unfortunately it metastasized and was found in his brain last summer. First brain surgery was Sept 2022. Although he has done great since, we’ve had a setback and he had to go in for brain surgery #2 April 11, 2023. Surgery went well but a lot necrosis was removed along with new tumor. He then developed Hydrocephalus (build up of fluid). A drain was put in and they have tried to close the drain off but unfortunately when this is done he goes into a coma like state. The plan is to try to close off the drain slowly again this week. If he can not tolerate that he will need another procedure to put a drain in that empties into his stomach. Once he is out of the icu he will need to go to a skilled nursing home. They are expecting him to recover enough to be home in 6-8 weeks if not longer. This is extremely hard. He was still working up until now. I am trying to raise some money to help with bills that may pile up and to help pay any of his remaining deductible for the year. I didn’t want to do this but the reality is he never asks for anything from anyone. We appreciate anything and love the outpouring support. My dad is my everything and holds a special place in many friends lives. -Alicia Our heartfelt condolences go out to the deceased’s family and friends, who have been struggling with the loss of such an intelligent and compassionate individual.
