The Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt is suddenly going through one of the worst times of his life. As the team prepares for the 2025 season, the owner is going to be focused on an unimaginable loss that has put his entire family in mourning.
“9 Years Old” Chiefs Owner Suffers Unimaginable Loss In Texas Floods (Breaking)
Nine-year-old cousin of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt has been named as one of the victims of devastating flash flooding in Texas:
Janie Hunt was attending an all-girls Christian summer program, Camp Mystic, when heavy rains in central Texas, centered around Texas Hill Country and Kerr County, caused the Guadalupe River to burst its banks over the July 4 weekend.
Janie, from Dallas, was the great-granddaughter of oil billionaire William Herbert Hunt, who was the brother of Clark Hunt’s father and Chiefs founder Lamar Hunt.
The youngster was at the camp in the community of Hunt, Kerr County, for the first time, alongside six of her cousins, all of whom survived, according to her family.

Her grandmother, Margaret Hunt, told reporters that she was in Vermont when she was told about the flooding by family members. Mrs Hunt immediately sped to the reunification center in Ingram, Texas.
When she arrived, she was asked to identify the body of Janie at a nearby funeral home.
Chloe Childress, an 18-year-old counselor at Camp Mystic, was among those who died when flash flooding swept through the camp. The camp’s director, Dick Eastland, also succumbed to the violent waters, the New York Times reports. He died while trying to save girls at the camp, according to family members.
An 8-year-old girl, Sarah Marsh, also died at the camp, as did four other children, according to the New York Post. Eleven people have also been reported as missing, 10 girls and a counselor.
Tavia Hunt, Clark Hunt’s wife, posted a tribute to Janie on Instagram. “Our hearts are broken by the devastation from the floods in Wimberley and the tragic loss of so many lives — including a precious little Hunt cousin, along with several friend’s little girls,” she wrote, in part, before sharing bible verses.
Overall, at least 81 people have died in the floods, while 41 people, including the young girls and a counselor at Camp Mystic, remain missing.
The National Weather Service has warned of more rain to come. The agency extended a flood watch over much of south-central Texas for Monday.
“Thunderstorms are expected to increase across portions of central TX over the next few hours with areas of slow movement and locally heavy rainfall,” it said.
“Localized hourly rainfall in the 1 to 3 inch range is expected, possibly leading to isolated flash flood concerns across the region.”
