My heart felt condolences to all of the Paton family, espically to David & his wife. A parent should never have to suffer the loss of their child.

Condolences from the UK - The Paton's are an integral part of the 'folk family'. This is such a sad loss.

Profound condolences to the entire Paton family. Losing a child/grandchild is a tragedy beyond all comprehension unless you've been there.

Thanks Lisa for posting this. I spoke to Caroline, Linnea and David this morning. I just came on Mudcat to post this and am now glad that I did not have to do the initial posting. I'm going up to Sharon tomorrow morning. Was just there over the weekend at a Paton family reunion and spent some time with Kaelan in a good conversation just like I used to have with his dad as a teenager. Sandy told me in an e-mail last night that Kaelan went in first and got out. His friend went in and had trouble so Kaelan went in to help him and did but then he disappeared. The water was very high and wild. They never should have been there. Helping his friend was the kind of kid Kaelan was. I just don't have the words.

Needless to say everyone is heartbroken and dealing with this senseless tragedy as best as can be expected.

My thoughts are in Sharon right now with the Paton family.

Kaelan Paton, son of David Paton and grandson of Sandy and Caroline Paton, has disappeared in a tragic water accident just up river from the town of Falls Village CT. I have just talked to Caroline and am reposting a message from Kaelan's sister Linnea from Facebook:

My little brother, Kaelan, is missing.

Kaelan and his friends skipped school this morning to go to Toymaker's Cafe for breakfast and then would go to school late to catch the rest of their high school classes.

Instead they biked to the Great Falls and went swimming.

The water was high.

Some how or another as far as I've heard - one of his friends was drowning. Kaelan went in again to rescue him. The other boys called 911. The fireman pulled two out of the river.

But my brother is still missing - there have been search parties out all afternoon.

We don't expect to find him alive if we find him at all.

Your prayers and support for me and my family would be much appreciated at this time.

Love,
Linnea
