Country music star Pat Green is facing a devastating personal tragedy amid the catastrophic flooding that recently struck Central Texas. During the July 4 holiday weekend, torrential rains caused the Guadalupe River to rise rapidly, leading to severe flash flooding across Kerr County, one of the hardest-hit regions. The floods, described as among the deadliest in Texas history, have claimed over 100 lives, with dozens more still missing.
Among those unaccounted for are Pat Green’s brother, John Green, his sister-in-law Julia, and their two young children. The family was believed to be near the Kerrville area when the floodwaters surged, sweeping through homes, camps, and entire communities with little warning. On July 7, Pat Green released a heartfelt statement saying his family had suffered a heartbreaking and deeply personal loss. While he did not initially name the missing individuals, loved ones later confirmed the identities through social media posts and public appeals for help.
Green’s wife, Kori, took to social media to express the family’s anguish, stating that they were heartbroken and anxiously waiting for news. She also asked for prayers and privacy during this painful time. Reports circulating online suggest that the body of Julia Green may have been recovered, though no official confirmation has been released by authorities.
The area where the Green family was last seen includes Camp Mystic, a well-known girls’ summer camp situated along the Guadalupe River. That site was among the most tragically impacted locations during the flood. Eyewitness accounts describe cabins being swept away in minutes, with little time for evacuation. At least 27 campers and staff members died, and several more remain missing.
Search and rescue efforts have been extensive but extremely difficult due to the force and unpredictability of the floodwaters. First responders, aided by volunteers, have been using boats, helicopters, drones, and K-9 units to search a 60-mile radius in the region. However, debris, collapsed structures, and washed-out roads have made the process slow and dangerous.
Pat Green has postponed all upcoming performances to be with his family during this ongoing crisis. He has long been a prominent figure in the Texas country music scene, known for hits like “Wave on Wave” and “Carry On.” The news of his family’s disappearance has drawn an outpouring of support from fans, fellow musicians, and community members alike.
As of now, the fate of John, Julia, and their children remains unknown. The Green family, like many others affected by the disaster, continues to hope for answers and resolution. The Texas community has rallied together in the wake of this natural disaster, but the emotional toll on families like the Greens is immeasurable. The tragedy serves as a stark reminder of nature’s unpredictable power and the fragility of life in the face of such overwhelming forces.
