A Pewaukee family is remembering their 18-year-old son after he died in Okauchee Lake last week.

Aiden Radosevich's father Shane Radosevich spoke to TMJ4 News about his son, who he says was "electric."

"Aiden was the life of any room he was in. He had an infectious smile. It didn't matter what mood you were in, you wanted to smile with him," Shane Radosevich said.

On Friday, June 19, Lac La Belle Police received a call at 10:40 p.m. that a boater had fallen overboard on Okauchee Lake and was missing. After hours of searching, authorities found Aiden Radosevich's body the morning of June 20 around 11:30 a.m., according to a news release.

Aiden had recently graduated from Pewaukee High School. His dad says he had an atypical high school career — during his senior year, he completed dual enrollment and finished his first year toward his real estate license at WCTC. He says his dream was to be a real estate mogul.

"He had so much to give to this world. He wanted to give it to everybody. He was a lover. There wasn't a time he didn't leave your house where he didn't say 'I love you,'" Shane said.

Aiden loved golfing, skiing, going to concerts with friends, and was passionate about thrifting.

"He had a kind soul and a big heart. He always took the time to have a personal conversation," Shane said.

In addition to his parents, Aiden is survived by an older brother and sister. His family has set up a GoFundMe to help honor his legacy.
