RIP


Sucks when civilians are exposed to such circumstances.

The guy that knew the guy that recovered the victim, tell him it will affect someone that is not used to this more than most believe. Don't be afraid to reach out to someone, I know some resources if he needs them.

So you know what happened? Just throwing out conjecture. Jeez.

Saw something on a friends Facebook page about this, don’t know where his info came from but he stated it was a heart attack. Prayers up for the family.

He is right.

I was there and saw the boat at the ramp. They were way overloaded, and they didn't have lifejackets. 4 people with 2 big coolers in a small boat.
I agree, they need to start monitoring the boats at the ramp.

For all the people making stupid comments about the drowning victim need to really do some soul searching and try to find it again because you have none!!!! We are all out there on the water and should help out as one not sit back and point and come up with ideas about the situation. You WEREN’T there so don’t act like it! Better hope your karma doesn’t kick you in the boat when you fall over board one day just remember that! Y’all just need to save the dumb comments for you friends not online. This man’s brother, 2 friends, my buds and I just watched him die and now his family doesn’t have their dad to come home! Y’all don’t need to be wasting energy on this forum instead spending it with your loved ones, family, friends and people you care about in life because they can be gone in a blink of an eye! Thank goodness there’s a few solid people left in this world. Thanks to my friends and the guy in the blue skeeter that helped out! That’s probably the toughest thing I’ve had to go through and will still relive for the rest of my life. Dont be ridiculous enough to talk about peoples passing especially when you don’t know any facts at all! Dudes were just trying to catch dinner. Just fyi to all fisherman out there this happened in only 7.4 ft of water, so just remember that when your on the water you don’t have to be in the middle to drown! I pray for the families involved and for those that can’t seem to find the decency in themselves to not talk negatively of the situation and just pray for them! I’m sorry for this rant but just makes me sad and angry to see these comments out of fellow fisherman. I’ll try to save another life a thousand times over again just hope don’t have to go through it again or anyone else has to at that matter. Hope y’all have a safe weekend and rip some lips for me and the guys 💪

I am sad for you brother that this path crossed in your life. My hope is that comfort will come to all that was in thus situation. Major hopes that this mans wife and children can find comfort soon. It really doesn't matter when u get down to it what the facts are, we all as fellow fisherman need to have compassion in this time and pray for all concerned.

Thank you from us! It’s a tough time for us at the moment but we’ll get through it! I’m sad for him family and brother and hope they find peace soon

7 FOW? how the F does that happen?

Not everyone can swim believe it or not

Hit your head or have a cardiovascular event and you could drown in less than a foot.
Prayers for his family.

You could probably add a seizure, stroke, TIA, and hypoglycemia to that list as well.

Yes, I know of a young man who passed bank fishing and had a seizure.
Rest In Peace.

that's says i'm ignorant

This right here. PTSD is no joke. Also tell the guy to play tetris. The eye movements that tetris causes helps limit intrusive memories of the ordeal.

Absolutely horrible when someone doesn't come back. I hope everyone involved can find some peace.
