Country musician Pat Green is grieving the loss of his younger brother and sister-in-law, John and Julia, and two of their children, after they were swept away in the severe flash floods that struck Central Texas over the 4th of July weekend.

The “Carry On” singer’s wife of 25 years, Kori, shared the devastating news in an Instagram post on Monday, writing that the couple is “heartbroken and anxiously waiting” for their family members to be found.

“We are so thankful for the outpouring of love and concern,” she wrote. “Thank you for your prayers.”

Green, who was born in San Antonio, also issued a statement online, thanking his fans for their love, prayers, and compassion.

“My family—like so many others—suffered a heartbreaking and deeply personal loss,” the 53-year-old said in his post.

“We are grieving alongside countless Texans whose lives have been upended by this tragedy. Right now, we kindly ask for privacy and space as we mourn, support each other, and begin to process what comes next for our family.”

More than 100 people have now been reported dead across several counties in the Texas Hill Country region after heavy rains caused the Guadalupe River to surge in the early hours of July 4.

Green’s brother and his family lived in Kerrville, a city in Kerr County, which bore the brunt of the flooding.

In a press conference on Tuesday, Kerr County authorities confirmed that 87 deceased individuals—56 adults and 30 children—had been recovered in the area.

The death toll is expected to rise as search and rescue operations continue.

The Tennessee Emergency Management Agency, in coordination with the Memphis Fire Department, announced that it has deployed a canine search team to Kerr County to assist in the recovery efforts.

“This is a time when we, as a state, need God more than ever,” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott shared in a statement.

“The one thing I hear the most are the prayers that are being sent for those who are in harm’s way.”

Abbott noted that “an extraordinary collaboration” was underway to address the aftermath of the catastrophic flooding.

“As part of this, I am signing a disaster declaration to ensure counties have access to every tool, strategy, and personnel that the State of Texas can provide to them, which will be limitless,” he wrote.
