 This 83-year-old Texas man was swept away in flood waters but not before he made sure his wife and dog were safe...


Joseph West passed away as a result of the flooding in Texas over the weekend. However, his family says he should be remembered as a hero due to his actions in the last moments of his life.


According to family, Joseph and his wife Anne noticed water on their floor in the early morning hours of May 5th. The couple got up and attempted to exit the home, but by the time they made it to the living room the water was to their knees. 


They knew they needed to escape to higher ground... and quickly.


Unfortunately water levels prevented them from escaping through the homes doors. Joseph simply couldn't open then by that point.


Joseph then ushered his beloved Anne into the bedroom where he immediately busted out a window. He then got his Anne and their dog safely out of the window. He instructed Anne to head to higher ground with the dog while he made his way out of the window.

Once on higher ground Anne checked on his progress.  He reportedly reassured her, "I'm okay and I'm out,  but I can't get past the current".


Joseph was swept away soon after that last statement. First responders were eventually able to make their way to the area and rescue Anne and her dog. After searching the area they were able to recover Joseph's body. 


Our thoughts are with the family of Joseph, he truly was a hero. He will be remembered as a hero.
