A memorial for Levi Popp will be revealed during a ceremony in Royalton at 10 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 2.

The public is invited to attend.

Popp, the son of Ashley and Lee Popp of Rice, is the 2-year-old boy who drowned in a yard pool June 8 in Sartell.

The memorial is a play ship dubbed the “Ahoy Matey” that will be a permanent part of the splash park located at 1014 Plattewood Drive in Royalton, a few blocks east of the Treasure City store.

The ship is called “Ahoy Matey” because Levi loved stories of pirates and often called others “Matey.” The 25-foot-long playground pirate ship is full of swings, slides and more. There is a 4-foot anchor that will hold the memorial plaque in front of the ship. The ship was made possible partly because of the following companies: Plants and Things USA, Northside Welding and Benton Trophy.

“Our son, Levi, was a full-spirited kid with an unreal imagination, always ready for an adventure,” said his mother Ashley. “His love for pirates, swords and adventure will live on through all the children who come to visit the ship. Their imagination will soar aboard the Matey. As parents to this special little boy, we hope the City of Royalton and all who visit the ship will love the new addition to the splash park in honor of our son, Levi Popp.”
