Kansas City Chiefs owner’s family loses 9-year-old girl in Texas flood as they release heartbreaking statement

At least 82 people have died as a result of the devastating flash flood in Kerr County, Texas, but authorities warn that the number could increase as search teams continue to clear debris-choked streams. One of the most damaged locations is Camp Mystic, a historic Christian summer camp for girls, where 11 people are still unaccounted for and 27 campers and staff have been confirmed dead.

Hundreds of families were affected by tragedy, one of which had connections to the NFL. One of the victims was Janie Hunt, age nine, who was related to Clark Hunt, the owner and CEO of the Kansas City Chiefs. Tavia Hunt, Clark’s wife, shared a heartfelt remembrance on Instagram, and her mother told CNN about the family’s grief. She asked in her message how faith can endure such a deep loss, particularly when it involves innocent children.

The camp, which has been in operation since 1926, had about 750 girls enrolled when the flood struck. With little warning, the rapidly rising Guadalupe River overflowed the camp, leaving little time for evacuation. A large number of victims were girls in the second and third grades who had just started their summer adventure.

Lila Bonner (9), Sarah Marsha, Eloise Peck (all ages 8), and Renee Smajstrla are additional confirmed victims. Like many others, Lila’s family asked for privacy while they grieved the loss of their child. As the disaster’s full scope becomes apparent, the larger community is still in shock.

Greg Abbott, the governor of Texas, has cautioned that the death toll could still rise. The state has a long road ahead in terms of rescue, recovery, and healing as families grieve.
