More than a month after catastrophic floods in the Texas Hill Country swept away local residents, out-of-towners and summer campers in Kerr County, Texas Rangers have released the names of the 119 people who lost their lives.
On July 4, heavy rain caused the Guadalupe River to rise 36 feet, hitting Kerr County the hardest.
People of all ages from all over Texas, from Midland to Beaumont, were on the list released by the Texas Rangers on Friday. The youngest victims were 1 year old; the oldest was 91.
Among the victims were a mother and daughter from Florida visiting their vacation home in Hunt, a family of three from California, and three people from Alabama.
“We are reminded once more of the lives forever changed by this tragedy. These names are not new to our community; they are our family, friends and neighbors, and they are forever engraved in our hearts,” Kerrville officials said in a statement.
Two people remain missing, according to state officials. Authorities did not identify them Friday.

Correction, Aug. 11, 2025 at 10:47 a.m.:
An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated when authorities identified the people who died in Kerr County during the Fourth of July floods. Their identities were released on Aug. 8, more than a month after the floods.
