Kansas City Chiefs Owner Clark Hunt Mourns Tragic Loss of 9-Year-Old Relative in Devastating Texas Floods

In a heartbreaking turn of events, the family of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt is grieving the loss of 9-year-old Janie Hunt, a young relative who tragically died in catastrophic flash floods that swept through Central Texas over the July 4, 2025, weekend. The floods, which claimed at least 82 lives and left dozens missing, devastated communities along the Guadalupe River, including the Christian girls’ summer camp, Camp Mystic, where Janie was a camper. Tavia Hunt, Clark’s wife, shared an emotional statement on Instagram, expressing the family’s profound sorrow: “Our hearts are broken by the devastation from the floods in Wimberley and the tragic loss of so many lives – including a precious little Hunt cousin, along with several friend’s little girls.”

The catastrophic flooding, described as a “100-year catastrophe” by President Donald Trump, was triggered by unprecedented rainfall that caused the Guadalupe River to surge up to 30 feet above its normal level in a matter of hours. The Texas Hill Country, particularly Kerr County, bore the brunt of the disaster, with at least 68 deaths reported in the area, including 28 children. Among the victims was Janie Hunt, the great-granddaughter of the late billionaire William Herbert Hunt, brother of Chiefs founder Lamar Hunt and great-uncle to Clark Hunt. Janie was attending Camp Mystic, an all-girls Christian summer camp, for the first time when the floodwaters struck, sweeping away cabins and claiming the lives of campers and staff, including the camp’s beloved director, Richard “Dick” Eastman, who died attempting to save children.

Tavia Hunt’s Instagram post not only mourned the loss of Janie but also reflected on the broader tragedy that has left countless families shattered. “How do we trust a God who is supposed to be good, all-knowing, and all-powerful, but who allows such terrible things to happen – even to children?” she wrote, grappling with the profound questions of faith and grief. “That is a sacred and tender question – and one the Bible doesn’t shy away from. Scripture is filled with the cries of those whose hearts have been shattered, who still wrestle to trust the same God they believe allowed the pain.” Her words resonated deeply, offering solace to a community reeling from the disaster while highlighting her personal connection to the tragedy.

The floods, which began on July 4, followed relentless rains that dumped up to 15 inches of water across the region, overwhelming the thin-soiled hills of the Texas Hill Country, an area known as “flash flood alley.” The sudden onset of the flooding caught many by surprise, despite warnings issued by the National Weather Service beginning July 3. Kerr County officials faced scrutiny for the lack of a robust warning system, with County Judge Rob Kelly stating, “No one knew this kind of flood was coming.” Search and rescue operations have been relentless, with over 850 people rescued, some found clinging to trees amidst fast-moving waters. The Kerr County Sheriff’s Office reported recovering 68 individuals, including 28 children, but 10 Camp Mystic campers and one counselor remain unaccounted for.

The Hunt family’s loss has drawn widespread attention, underscoring the far-reaching impact of the disaster. Clark Hunt, the chairman and CEO of the Kansas City Chiefs, has deep ties to Texas, where the Hunt family has
