NM Youngster Drowned...

[NMHUNTNUTTG]

Hey all , I just wanted to let you all know that this past Thursday my community lost a little 13 year old boy. He was swimming with his big brother and a couple of friends in the Rio Grande River and was caught in an under tow current. Before anyone comes on here to say how bad it was for the kids to be in such a big river during run off time , save it! The family already knows and is suffering beyond words.Young Corbin Hayes was found this afternoon miles down the river caught up against a dead fall tree in the river. He was a great young boy , a baseball player and loved the outdoors.They made a huge mistake to enter the river , but it cannot be un-done. His big brother saved another little girl who was about to get taken by the strong current and tried to get back to his little brother but the water was too strong. Please for those of you believe that God's Promise is not of this world but of His , I ask if you can take 5 seconds and ask for a blessing to the Hayes Family in Rio Rancho NM......Thanks Larry

I cant think of anything worse that could happen to a family. Hope the family can somehow find peace.
My prayers are with them.

Thats terrible my prayers go out to the Family

My friends and I used to do the same thing. I am thankful nothing ever happened to any of us. Can't imagine losing a child. Please don't forget about this and tell all the kids you know that they need to stay out of the river.

I remember playing in the Rio when I was youger as well, and thinking nothing of it, but a few years of duck hunting on it really brought an awareness to what it is capable. Finding out how drastically the same area is changed year-to-year by the river's currents, so much so that we had to scout it out before hunting it. Using my shotgun to frantically paddle my wadered ass back into shallow water/solid ground after aborting failed attempts to fetch floating dead ducks. I've since given up on that. Taking up coyote hunting...they probably taste about the same anyway.


In all seriousness though, I would never let a child near that river. My thoughts, prayers, and condolences are with the family.

A really good friend of mine at work lost his wife and one of his twin girls in the river almost 2 years ago. Brenda took the girls fishing and one fell in. None could swim, Brenda went in after her baby and passed away. Lots of people seemed to think they never should have been at the river in the first place...me, I just realized that I needed to start putting my kiddos in life vests whenever we go to any river. I always thought I'd be able to pull them out, but it simply is not the case.

The Hayes Family has my prayers as well.

My family, and church's prayers will go out to the Hayes family at Sundays service. I know it's not much, but maybe God's light can shed some comfort to the family and friends of their fallen angel in their time of sorrow.


Rest in Peace little friend you will be truly missed by all who love you.


PS: If someone has an idea of flowers or anything else. I would be more than happy to donate $25 to whatever someone decides.

Just call me and let me know where and who to send it to.
