Father and Son Lost at Sea in Tragic Ocean Incident | Charlotte News
Description
A heart-wrenching tragedy unfolded at Holden Beach when father Daniel Jason Roberts, 46, and his son Dylan Daniel Roberts, 20, both from Lenoir, drowned in the ocean on August 2nd. Emergency crews responded to reports of two people in distress but were unable to save them. Dylan, a beloved staff member at Town Tavern in Blowing Rock, was remembered as a vibrant, positive force — the restaurant closed for two days to honor him. An online fundraiser suggests Dylan may have died trying to rescue his father, highlighting their roles as primary family providers and deepening the community’s grief. Authorities continue investigating, but the ocean’s unforgiving power remains a sobering reminder. Our hearts go out to the Roberts family during this unimaginable loss.
