Kayaker missing on Oregon river identified as California man
Briefly

Marcelus Angelo Rodriguez, a 20-year-old from Porterville, California, was reported missing after going over a waterfall while kayaking on April 12. Multiple 911 calls alerted authorities to a kayaker in distress who did not resurface. After an extensive search involving various emergency units, Rodriguez’s kayak was found the next morning. His family expressed their devastation and emphasized the importance of safety, urging others to wear life jackets to prevent such tragedies.
Marcelus loved God, his family, and nature. We hope that this tragic accident can be avoided in the future for other families. May God keep watch over Marcelus and bless him always.
We, the family of Marcelus Angelo Rodriguez, are truly devastated by the tragic event that unfolded this past Saturday in the Willamette Falls area, and we would not wish this experience on anyone.
