Texas Family Feared Dead in Alaska Boat Accident

A Texas family of four, David and Mary Maynard and their sons Colton and Brantley, are feared dead after their 28-foot aluminum boat capsized off the coast of Homer, Alaska. The incident occurred on Saturday evening when the vessel, carrying eight people, began taking on water. Despite rescue efforts that included multiple Coast Guard assets and good Samaritan vessels, only four people were saved from a life raft. The search was suspended on Sunday evening after 24 hours without new information. The Maynards were on vacation, and tributes have poured in for the family, who were described as beloved members of their community.
