I'm glad there is a name to this man, may he rest in peace. Yes, the picture is accurate. The waves were wild and the undertow wicked. There are flags along the beach warning people when it is not safe to swim. Will went out past the buoys (we are staying at the RIU hotel) and I witnessed this tragedy. The lifeguards from the RIU brought him to shore and many worked to revive him for almost an hour. It was the most horrific thing I've experienced in 53 years of life. For his friends and family, know that myself and many others prayed very hard for his recovery. I'm terribly sorry for your loss to those who personally knew him and his family.
