In the chaos of the recent flood at Camp Mystic, where multiple young girls were trapped and feared lost, one man gave his life to save them. But his bravery didn’t begin — or end — in that moment.
He wasn’t just a hero in the flood. He was a guardian long before the storm ever hit.
It all started years ago when his pregnant wife had to be airlifted to safety during a historic flood. She survived — barely. But that day changed him forever.
Since then, he dedicated his life to making places safer for children. Camps. Schools. Community centers. Anywhere kids might gather, he was there — pushing for better safety protocols, warning about future dangers, demanding change.
He spoke at town halls, wrote letters to local officials, and even clashed with authorities who told him, again and again, “It’s not a priority.”
But he never stopped.
So when the floods came back to Camp Mystic, he ran toward the danger, not away.
He rescued those girls with his own hands. He saved lives.
And now, the man who fought tirelessly to protect others has been taken — by the very storm he spent years trying to prepare us for.
His legacy is not just in the girls he saved… but in the mission he never gave up on.
May we never forget his name — or the warning he died trying to make us hear.
