HOUSTON, Texas— The family of Derwin Anderson Jr., a 40-year-old Air Force veteran, gathered on Monday to commemorate his life following his tragic death in the June flash floods that devastated Houston.

Anderson was among several victims who lost their lives during unprecedented rainfall that overwhelmed the city’s drainage systems, leading to widespread flooding and extensive damage. His memorial service reflected on his military service and the impact he made on family and friends.

The June floods brought more than 10 inches of rain in a short period, flooding roads, homes, and businesses and prompting emergency rescues across the city. Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner expressed condolences to affected families and reaffirmed the city’s commitment to improving flood infrastructure amid growing climate challenges.

Anderson, a father of two, was remembered as a devoted family man and a veteran honored for his bravery and dedication. His family plans to continue his legacy by supporting veteran assistance programs and establishing a scholarship fund to inspire young people pursuing military careers.

 Authorities urge residents to stay alert for potential severe weather and are exploring new measures to strengthen the city’s flood resilience.

As the Houston community mourns, Anderson’s family and friends are committed to preserving his memory through ongoing support for veterans and community preparedness initiatives.
