The Boerne Fire Department says their search for a missing kayaker at Boerne Lake has come to a tragic conclusion.
According to police, 42-year-old Benito Cantu was last seen kayaking in the Lake Country Homeowners Park area around 3:30 PM Sunday.
Crews from the Boerne Police Department, Boerne Fire Department, and Texas Game Wardens were searching for Cantu Sunday evening when they discovered Cantu's kayak and some of his personal belongings floating in the water. They had to call off their search that night, however, due to inclement weather in the area.
The search resumed Monday morning, and at about 11 a.m., crews recovered Cantu's body.
Investigators say that it appears Cantu's death was accidental and that the kayaker was not wearing a life jacket.

Sad news. Wind is always tough on that lake. It was a windsurfer's haven back in the day. I remember watching windsurfing races out there as a kid. Prayers to the Cantu family and thank you first responders for finding Benito and bringing some kind of closure to the family.

Always hate news like this. Prayers sent to victim's family and friends. The Lord Jesus Christ has control.  Side Note: Always wear the vest!
