I wasn't sure where to post this, or if it was even appropriate for NWKA.  Admin, do what you need.

The car, wallet and keys of an employee from our company was found near the Tacoma Narrows bridge yesterday.  He was last seen Monday, and had been going through some very tough times.  We hope to provide closure to his family and close friends soon.  Please alert authorities if you happen to come across any evidence.  I know the water moves a lot through that area, changing direction every six hours, and chances of seeing anything are very slim.  But as kayakers we tend to be very in tune with our surroundings. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Kyle

Kyle,

I did a trip (Thursday) from sunrise beach to the narrows park and was close to the shore (relatively) and did not see anything.  When I am out again I will keep my eyes open. 

More importantly I will pray for the family.

I am no longer a dealer for Wavewalk but if you ever want to paddle one let me know!

Thank you all for the kind words and keeping your eye out.  So far no additional evidence has been found.  The police tell us that eventually remains drift north, and have in the past been found near Canada.  But many have not been found at all.  This individual had a wife and three young kids, as well as siblings and many friends, so closure would be very good.
