KERRVILLE, TX – July 15, 2025 — In heartbreaking news from the aftermath of the devastating Fourth of July floods that struck Central Texas, the body of 69-year-old Alvaro Sigala has been recovered. Alvaro was among more than 160 individuals reported missing during the catastrophic flooding that overwhelmed parts of Kerr County, including Center Point, where Alvaro was last seen.
His wife, Hilaria Sigala, had spent every moment since his disappearance desperately searching for answers—holding onto hope, pleading for information, and refusing to give up. She shared with search teams and local media that Alvaro was en route to a job site in Center Point on the morning of July 4 but never made it. His vehicle had vanished, swallowed by the unforgiving floodwaters, and there was no trace of him—until now.
This tragic discovery brings painful closure to a story that has gripped the Kerrville community and beyond. It also underscores the incredible human cost of the flooding that has claimed lives, homes, and stability for hundreds of families.
Alvaro was more than a name on a missing person’s list. He was a devoted husband, a hardworking man, and a steady presence in the lives of his family and friends. He was a man who, even in his late 60s, remained active and dedicated to his work and his loved ones. To those who knew him, Alvaro was a man of quiet strength, humility, and deep compassion.
To Hilaria—his partner, his companion, his heart—words will never be enough. She, like so many others left behind in this tragedy, now faces the agonizing task of laying her husband to rest and trying to rebuild a life without the person who meant the most to her.
What can we say to her?
We say: You are not alone.
We say: Your pain is felt by many.
We say: Alvaro’s life mattered—his memory will be honored.
💬 To Hilaria and the families of every soul lost in these floods: May you find peace in the love that surrounds you now. May the community that grieves with you today help carry the burden of your sorrow. And may the memory of your beloved Alvaro bring you light in the darkest of hours.
As recovery efforts continue, many are left clinging to hope, searching, and mourning. Communities have come together across Texas to help locate the missing, provide shelter to the displaced, and support families with food, shelter, and compassion.
To those reading this, now is the time for tenderness, for giving, and for remembering that these are not just headlines—these are human lives. If you feel compelled to help, reach out to relief organizations in Central Texas. A kind word, a meal, a donation—everything makes a difference.
Rest in peace, Alvaro Sigala.
