Jeff and Amber Wilson lost their lives in the flooding. As of Wednesday, July 9, their son, Shiloh, remains missing. According to a fundraising page set up by family, Jeff, Amber and Shiloh were in the Kerville area for a rodeo with Shiloh, who was described as a "young, spirited competitor." Jeff Wilson was a teacher in the Humble ISD.

In some ways, out-of-towners were more vulnerable in the July 4 flood. At least 19 of the more than 100 people killed were from the Houston area.
