Humble, TX – A community still reeling from the devastating July 4 flood in the Texas Hill Country will gather this Friday to honor and celebrate the lives of Jeff, Amber, and Shiloh Wilson — a beloved family reunited after a grueling and emotional search following the natural disaster.

The Celebration of Life will take place at 1 p.m. on Friday, July 25, at the Humble Civic Center, located at 8233 Will Clayton Parkway in Humble, Texas. Arrangements are being overseen by Kingwood Funeral Home, and members of the public are welcome to attend and pay their respects.

The Wilson family — known in their local community as passionate rodeo supporters and deeply involved in local life — had been reported missing during the catastrophic floods that swept through the region on Independence Day. After days of intense search-and-rescue efforts involving local authorities, volunteers, and first responders, the three were miraculously found and reunited.

News of their safe return was met with joy and relief across Texas and beyond, especially within the rodeo and rural family circles where the Wilsons were well known. Tragically, however, the long-term effects of the flood and the trauma it caused took a toll, and the family passed away shortly after their reunion, leaving an entire community in mourning.

“This family embodied love, strength, and unity,” said one family friend. “Their journey brought hope to so many of us in the darkest hours of the flood — and even in their passing, they’ve brought us together.”

Jeff, Amber, and Shiloh Wilson were described as “a tight-knit trio” with a deep love for each other and their community. Jeff was a skilled rancher and rodeo hand, Amber an active volunteer and advocate for children’s programs, and Shiloh, their young daughter, was known for her vibrant spirit and infectious smile. Together, they lived a life rooted in faith, family, and the great outdoors.

The upcoming Celebration of Life will reflect those values, with family and friends sharing stories, music, and prayers. Members of the local rodeo community are expected to attend in full western attire, in a show of solidarity and remembrance.

The Wilsons’ story has become symbolic of both the heartbreak and hope that emerged from the deadly flood, which claimed multiple lives and left dozens more displaced. As Texas communities begin to rebuild, the memory of the Wilson family serves as a reminder of resilience, love, and the power of community.

“God bless this rodeo family,” one neighbor wrote on social media, “and every family missing loved ones lost in this flood. We mourn together — but we also celebrate the lives they lived and the love they shared.”

In lieu of flowers, the family has asked for donations to be made to local flood relief efforts and children’s charities in the Hill Country area.
