RIP - I hadn't heard that they called off the search yet. Very sad week for CAP this has been.

Indeed, and then the tragic plane crash last week.

Prayers

[Woodsy]

My heart and prayers are with the family of C/2d. Lt. Lewis.

I would also like to extend my condolences to Capt. Epp, the SDWG/PAO who wrote this article.  As a fellow wing PAO, I know how hard it is to write stuff like this.  Just last Wednesday, I had to announce to my wing the death of one of our very popular and outstanding cadets, who died in a car accident.  C/2d. Lt. Joshua Floyd. 

In a wing as small as SDWG, I can imagine Capt. Epp probably knew him personally, making this story even more difficult to write.  I have over 4,200 brothers and sisters in my wing, and no matter the circumstances or if I knew them or not, this type of stuff is never easy to write.

Yes it is tragedy for the family as well as Civil Air Patrol

I hope they do indeed find him. They have not called off the search yet from the last I heard.

Living the life of a teenager, kayaking, CAP...I love it, just I'm sure he loved the outdoors.  I'm proud of how he lived and I didn't know him.

RIP, Cadet.  I'll toast one in your honor.

Sad news, at least the family and squadron can get some closure now. RIP

I believe COWG also flew the dog team up. Sad outcome. RIP.

Always a sad day when one is lost more so when it is a child...
