Texas family missing on Alaska vacation after boat capsizes off coast
A Texas family is feared dead after their boat capsized off the coast of Homer, Alaska, over the weekend while they were on a family vacation.
David and Mary Maynard, of Troy, along with their two young sons, remain missing after the 28-foot aluminum boat with a total of eight people aboard capsized Saturday evening approximately 16 miles west of Homer, according to the U.S. Coast Guard District 17 Alaksa.
The USCG suspended its search Sunday after 24 hours passed without any signs of the Maynard family pending the development of further information, a USCG spokesperson said in a press release shared with Fox News Digital.
“The decision to suspend a search is never easy and involves the careful consideration of many factors including environmental conditions and search operations,” the spokesperson said in the press release.

The spokesperson adde that Alaska State Troopers and “multiple good Samaritan vessel crews also assisted with search efforts.”
Homer Harbormaster Matt Clarke told the Homer News that a Good Samaritan boat called the Salty Sea rescued four others on a life raft that had been on board the capsized boat.
The USCG conducted a grid search of the area where the boat sank, Clarke added.

A GoFundMe for the Maynards says their “sweet family of four was lost at sea on their vacation to Alaska,” a family friend wrote in a description of the fundraising page. “Mary’s parents are still there hoping to bring them home. This family is going through a lot right now. We are asking for prayers and donations if you can, to help with unexpected expenses that the family would have to cover so suddenly,” the description states.
The Maynards “left a huge imprint on many people,” the GoFundMe says, from the laughter they brought to others to the “love and family-oriented connection they provided.”

LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — Real roads come with real consequences. This summer, the Nevada Department of Public Safety and FOX5 want everyone to Arrive Alive, and that starts with smart choices behind the wheel. Safe driving habits are the best way to prevent crashes. With more teens and first-time drivers hitting the road, the Nevada Department of Public Safety is advising everyone to slow down, stay focused, and look out for each other.
- Stay distraction-free. Distraction plays a role in nearly 6 out of 10 crashes involving teens. The biggest distraction is often other teens in the car, followed by phones and in-car screens. Put the phone away, keep your eyes up, and save the playlist changes for later. Passengers can help too; keep the driver focused, not stressed.
- Don’t speed. Nearly 30% of fatal teen crashes involve speeding, and driving too fast cuts down your reaction time, increases stopping distance, and makes any crash more serious. Stick to the speed limit, slow down when roads or weather change, and leave plenty of space between you and the car ahead.
- Never drive impaired. Impaired driving is still a major problem in Nevada, making up 51% of traffic deaths from 2018 to 2022. If you’ve been drinking or using drugs, don’t drive. Call a trusted adult, use a designated driver, or take a rideshare.
- Buckle up! Every trip. Every seat. Seatbelts greatly reduce the risk of serious injury or death. Everyone in the vehicle, front seat and back, needs to wear one. Put it on every time. It takes seconds and can save your life.
We’re in the middle of the 100 deadliest days of summer please share the road, as even one traffic death is too many. Arrive Alive. That’s the plan. Learn more at ZeroFatalitiesNV.com
