Who are the Texas flood victims?
At least 82 people were killed and dozens are missing after devastating flash floods swept through Texas on the Fourth of July. The death toll is expected to rise and Gov. Greg Abbott said Sunday that there were 41 people confirmed to be missing and 'there could be more.' Survivors have described the floods as a 'pitch black wall of death' and said they received no emergency warnings. Officials have come under scrutiny as to why residents and youth summer camps along the river were not alerted sooner about the severe weather or told to evacuate. Julian Ryan, 27 - Died saving his family Heroic father Julian Ryan (left), 27, used his final moments to save his family from the fast-moving waters. The father-of-two selflessly punched through a window of their home in Kerrville, just off the Guadalupe River, to help his mother, his fiancée and the couple's 6-year-old and 13-month-old children escape to the roof. Despite the severe injury, Ryan stayed focused on getting his family out safely. But with emergency responders unable to reach them in time, the father of two succumbed to his wounds hours later. But, the glass tore through his arm, severing an artery and nearly detaching the limb. His final words were, 'I'm sorry, I'm not going to make it. I love y'all.' Reece and Paula Zunker High school soccer coach, Reece Zunker (top right), and his wife, Paula (top left) were among those who died in the devastating floods that swept through Texas on Friday. Reece was teacher and soccer coach at Tivy High School in Kerrville, and Paula was formerly a teacher at the school. The couple's two young children, Lyle (left) and Holland (right), were both still missing as of Sunday afternoon. 'It is with profound sadness that we share the heartbreaking news of the passing of one of our beloved teachers, Reece Zunker, and his wife, Paula, who tragically lost their lives in the flash flood on July 4th,' the Kerrville Independent School District said in a statement. 'Reece was a passionate educator and a beloved soccer coach. His unwavering dedication to our students, athletes, and the Tivy community touched countless lives and will never be forgotten. 'Paula, a former Tivy teacher, also left a lasting mark on our community. The care and impact she shared with her students continue to be felt, even years later.' Jeff Wilson, 55 - Beloved teacher Renee Smajstrla, 8 Janie Hunt, 9 - Cousin of the Kansas City Chiefs owner Sarah Marsh, 8 Alabama native Sarah Marsh (pictured) died after the waters swept through Camp Mystic, according to her family. 'Thank you for the outpouring of love and sympathy! We will always feel blessed to have had this beautiful spunky ray of light in our lives. She will live on in our hearts forever! We love you so much sweet Sarah,' her grandmother said, according to The Kerrville Daily Times. Lila Bonner, 9 - Attending camp with her best friend The family of Lila Bonner (right), who was sharing a cabin at the camp with her best friend Eloise Peck, confirmed her passing to NBC News. 'In the midst of our unimaginable grief, we ask for privacy and are unable to confirm any details at this time,' the family said. 'We ache with all who loved her and are praying endlessly for others to be spared from this tragic loss.' Eloise Peck, 8 Dallas girl Eloise Peck (right), who recently finished second grade at Bradfield Elementary with her best friend Lilia, also died in the flood. 'Eloise was literally friends with everyone. She loved spaghetti but not more than she loved dogs and animals,' her mother, Missy Peck, told FOX 4 . 'She passed away with her cabinmate and best friend Lila Bonner who also died. Eloise had a family who loved her fiercely for the 8 years she was with us. Especially her Mommy.' Blair Harber, 13 - Died holding on to younger sister Two sisters, Blair (left) and Brooke Harber (right), were among those who were killed in the deadly Texas floods. They were not attending Camp Mystic when the natural disaster struck. The sisters were with their grandparents at a cabin along the Guadalupe River when they were swept away, reported FOX 4. The girls' parents were staying at another cabin and are safe. Their grandparents, Charlene and Mike Harber, are missing. As the parents were desperately searching for the girls, they checked their phones and saw they each received a text from their daughters that read 'I love you', timestamped at 3.30am. The girls also sent a similar message to their grandfather in Michigan. Brooke Harber, 11 Brooke Harber (center), Blair's younger sister, was confirmed dead over the holiday weekend. The sisters were found holding hands. Blair (left of center) and Brooker were eighth grade and sixth grade students respectively at St. Rita Catholic School, according to their priest, Father Joshua J. Whitfield. 'Even if we may never fully understand why such tragedies happen, we are called to respond with love, compassion, and prayer,' Whitfield said. 'We will honor Blair and Brooke's lives, the light they shared, and the joy they brought to everyone who knew them.' Richard 'Dick' Eastland, 70 - Hero camp director Beloved Camp Mystic Director Richard 'Dick' Eastland (pictured), 70, died while trying to rescue campers from the biblical rushing waters. Eastland's nephew, Gardner Eastland, confirmed the death in a Facebook post on Saturday. The camp director's wife, Tweety, was found safe at their home, according to Texas Public Radio. Father-of-four Eastland died in a helicopter on the way to a Houston hospital, Kerr County Judge Rob Kelly told the Washington Post. The Eastlands have owned and operated Camp Mystic since 1974, and many viewed him as a father figure at the camp. Chloe Childress, 18 Camp Mystic counselor Chloe Childress (pictured) also lost her life in the disaster. The Kinkaid School graduate was about to start studying at the University of Texas at Austin in the fall. 'Whether it was sharing her own challenges to ease someone's burden or quietly cheering a teammate or classmate through a tough day, Chloe made space for others to feel safe, valued, and brave,' Jonathan Eades, the head of The Kinkaid School, wrote in a letter to the school community. 'She understood what it meant to be part of a community, and more than that, she helped build one.'

Haunting final text message of missing Texas flood victim, 21, moments before the house she was staying in with friends was washed away at 4am
As the raging Guadalupe River burst its banks and wreaked havoc in central Texas, a young woman named Joyce Badon sent a haunting text message that may have been her last. Triggering one of many frantic search efforts, Badon pleaded for help from a house along the river, according to Louis Deppe, leader of a group of volunteers trying to help the Badon family find their daughter. Torrential rains starting the night before the Independence Day holiday caused the river to rise the height of a two-story building in less than hour, flooding parts of Kerr County, including several children's camps, tearing down trees and tossing cars as if they were toys. The death toll as of Sunday afternoon was at least 78, with more casualties expected. Badon and three friends, Ella Cahill, Reese Manchaca and Aiden Heartfield, had gone to a country house to spend the July 4 holiday together. It rained all Thursday night into Friday morning, when disaster struck. 'Their house collapsed at about 4 in the morning and they were being washed away. On her cellphone, the last message (her family) got was "we're being washed away" and the phone went dead,' Deppe told AFP. He said the team works in groups of two or three people as they look through the debris and detritus left behind by the deluge. 'One of the bodies was 8 to 10 feet in a tree, surrounded up by so much debris. Not one person could see it, so the more eyes, the better,' he added. The river is returning to normal now but there is utter destruction everywhere on its banks, like a dead cow hanging from a tree, its head caught between two branches. Nearby a pickup truck lies upside down and around it dozens of dead fish swept out of the water are beginning to rot and stink. Helicopters fly overhead looking for survivors or bodies while rescue teams in boats ride up and down the river and emergency officials comb its banks. Little by little, debris like uprooted trees and ruined cars is being taken away. Tina Hambly, 55, the mother of Joyce Badon's best friend and roommate, walks around with a kayak oar poking at branches and other debris, hoping to find something or someone. 'We're doing a seven-mile stretch, and there's seven teams and we're doing a mile apiece, so just kind of dividing and conquering, trying to find any four of them or anyone,' Hambly told AFP. 'But, you know, we are friends and families and frankly, some strangers have shown up,' she added. In the town of Hunt, one of the worst hit areas, a summer gathering for children called Camp Mystic initially reported dozens of those kids missing in the flooding. The figure now stands at 11 plus a counselor. Toys, clothing, towels and other belongings lie strewn around camp cabins full of mud. The volunteers looking for Badon have found some bodies - two early on Saturday morning and then another stuck in debris up in a tree. 'And they did let me know that she was one of the Camp Mystic girls that went missing,' said Justin Morales, 36, part of the search team. 'We're happy to give a family closure,' he said. 'That's why we're out here.'
