The family was reportedly vacationing at a river house in Kerr County as the floods swept through the area unannounced.
KERR COUNTY, Texas — The Kerrville Daily Times says a family that was on vacation at a river house in Hunt has been reported missing after floodwaters swept through the area.
Tivy soccer coach Reece Zunker, wife Paula and two children were reported missing by family members after catastrophic flooding swept through Kerr County on Friday.
Zunker reportedly grew up in New Braunfels before finding his passion for coaching during his junior year of college while volunteering with Uvalde High School’s football team.
After graduating, Zunker taught a semester at Dallas Lakeworth before landing a position at Tivy High School, where he has taught for the past 12 years.
Family members say that Zunker and his family were vacationing at a river house in Hunt, between Camp La Junta and Camp Mystic, where 23 children are still unaccounted for as well.
“The TFND community would like to extend an ‘all call’ to pray for all of those affected by the historic flooding today, and a special petition for the Zunker family, who have yet to be brought to safety,” said Tivy Football Coach Curtis Neill.
