BREAKING NEWS : ‘Cherished’ Coach and Wife, Found Dead in Texas Flood Rescue 𝐃𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐬 𝐢𝐧⤵️

Tragedy has struck a small Texas community as beloved high school football coach Mark Daniels, 49, and his wife Lena Daniels, 46, were confirmed dead after being swept away during the catastrophic flash floods that tore through central Texas over the weekend.

The couple had been reported missing after attempting to evacuate their home in Blanco County as floodwaters rapidly rose. According to local officials, their vehicle was later discovered submerged miles from their last known location. Rescue crews recovered their bodies early Tuesday morning.

Coach Daniels, known to his players as “Coach D,” was more than just a coach—he was a mentor, father figure, and pillar of strength in the community. For over two decades, he led the Blanco High School Panthers to multiple playoff appearances and was loved for his unwavering dedication and compassion both on and off the field.

Lena, a school nurse and church volunteer, was equally adored. She was known for her kind heart, infectious smile, and tireless efforts in helping local families and children in need.

Superintendent Carla Weaver shared a tearful tribute:

> “We’ve lost two extraordinary souls. Mark and Lena touched countless lives. This community is grieving beyond words.”

Students, alumni, and families have since gathered at the school stadium to light candles and leave messages of love and remembrance.

As Texas continues rescue operations and battles with rising death tolls—now at over 60 confirmed fatalities—the loss of Coach Daniels and Lena has sent shockwaves far beyond their hometown.

💔 Please keep their family, students, and the entire Blanco community in your prayers during this devastating time.
