DALLAS — The body of Bishop E. Evans, a Texas Army National Guard specialist reported missing Friday at the U.S.-Mexico border after he jumped into the Rio Grande to save two migrants, was recovered Monday morning.
Elected officials and politicians — including U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-San Antonio, who confirmed the recovery of the body — offered condolences over social media throughout Monday.
“This young soldier made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of protecting and serving our country,” Gonzales said in a written statement. “He will never be forgotten.”
