In July 2026, shortly after returning from vacation, Jim Pearson was alerted by a young boy screaming that another child was drowning in a neighbor’s pool.
Jim immediately ran to the pool, dove in, located the submerged child, and pulled him from the water, and family members began CPR until the arrival of EMS crews from ATFD.
Thanks to their combined efforts, the boy survived and is doing well.
Tonight, the Aston Twp. Board of Commissioners recognized Jim for his courage and life-saving actions. His quick response made a life-changing difference for this child and his family.
Congratulations, Jim, on this well-deserved recognition. Our Members and Staff were proud to attend this meeting tonight to congratulate you on this much deserved honor.
