Earlier reports cited Enoch Abbram as the sole fatality at the beach event after an attempt to rescue some drowning kids.
According to the church in a statement on Facebook, Abbram died trying to rescue Clifford.
Paying tribute, the church said:
“Clifford, your sudden demise has left a void that words cannot adequately describe. You will be fondly remembered for your unwavering commitment and dedicated service to the Youth Ministries and Communication Department of the church.”
“We also extend our heartfelt condolences to the family of MG Enoch Abram, a devoted Master Guide who selflessly rescued two individuals and made a courageous attempt to save Clifford, but sadly drowned in the process. Enoch’s bravery and sacrifice reflect the highest form of love, the love that mirrors the example of Christ, who laid down His life for others.”
How Enoch Abbram died in SDA tragedy
According to some people at the beach, a group of children playing near the shoreline was sucked into the ocean by a powerful tide.
Adom News reported that Abbram raced to the ocean to help the kids in peril, first pulling one to safety, but when trying to rescue a second, he was overwhelmed by the waves and sucked into the sea.
A member of the church described Enoch as a man who lived the principles he taught.
“In an act of great courage and selflessness, Enoch went into the water to save them. By God's grace, he successfully rescued one child but lost his own life in the process."
