LAGUNA VISTA — Closure.
That’s what the family of missing kayaker Adrian Garcia felt when his body was recovered by Texas Parks and Wildlife agents yesterday morning.
His body was found in the waters near the Fingers in Port Isabel at approximately 10:30 a.m., Texas Game Warden Capt. James Dunk said.
“He’s in heaven,” repeated Leticia Garcia, Adrian’s mother, to friends and family at Roloff Park.
Authorities said Adrian Garcia went fishing with a friend Thursday, and his kayak overturned. His kayak and its paddle had been recovered, but not Adrian.
Family members returned to the Holly Beach area yesterday morning hoping that some progress in the search for Garcia had been made.
The family received an outpouring of support from the community, Dunks said.
“A lot of people donated their time to help, whether it was on horseback, in boats or in four-wheelers,” Dunks said.
