Authorities say a teenager involved in a car crash over the weekend in Fond du Lac has been declared brain dead and will be taken off life support Wednesday. Sixteen year old Tommy Koenigs, of Mount Calvary was flown by helicopter to ThedaCare Medical Center in Neenah following the crash early Saturday morning. In an email to families St. Mary’s Springs Academy president Stacey Akey said Koenigs will give “a beautiful gift to others” through organ donation. SMSA students from the football and hockey teams are at the hospital for an ‘honor walk’ following the organ donations. A passenger in the car, 16 year old Nevins Zoch, was also killed in the crash on Golf Course Drive. A second passenger, a 16 year old girl, received non life-threatening injuries. An obituary for Zoch memorialized his life as a “bright boy” with a “vibrant imagination.” Zoch was a sophomore at Laconia High School and played for the football team. A visitation for Zoch will be held Friday at Holy Family Catholic Church in Fond du Lac. The Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office says speed and alcohol were factors in the crash.
