Nehemiah Larmier's legacy lives on through Slackline and Balance Park

Nehemiah Larmier's legacy continues to live on.

The parents of the former Stevens High School student established a Slack line and Balance park in memory of their late son who was killed in a traffic accident a couple of years ago.

"In a sense it's his gift back to the community, he has a fun park that anybody can come down and enjoy," said Nehemiah's farther Kayne Larmier. "We have nine slack line post in the ground, some reach up to 200 feet and the shortest is 23 feet."

Nehemiah Memorial Slackline and Balance Park is located on the south east corner of Sioux Park near the playground and according to Kayne, the park has something for everyone.

" If you don't have a slackline you can get on the balance park, if you do not have slackline skills you can still come and work on your balance. You can start at any distance and work your way up. It's a rewarding sport."

Nehemiah's parents both stressed that this slackline park is meant to bring happiness to the community, but uplifting their son's memory.

"We want this area to be a place of legacy not mourning" said Nehemiah's mother Emily Larmier.

Another way Nehemiah continues to live on is by his organs. Nehemiah was an organ donor and that decision at an early age.

“He talked to us about it, it wasn’t as if he just turned 18 and checked the box" said Emily, "To see someone walking on this earth because of Nehemiah, it pulls your heart strings, it's just amazing and we are grateful."
