Husband of Maeve Kennedy Townsend McKean pens emotional tribute to her, and their 8-year-old son, Gideon, after the pair was presumed dead following a canoe accident in the Chesapeake Bay.
McKean said he and his wife had taken their children to a family home in Shady Side, Maryland, to self-quarantine during the coronavirus pandemic and to"give our kids more space than we have at home in DC to run around."
"They got into a canoe, intending simply to retrieve the ball, and somehow got pushed by wind or tide into the open bay," he explained."About 30 minutes later they were spotted by an onlooker from land, who saw them far out from shore, and called the police. After that last sighting, they were not seen again."
McKean said in his Facebook post that it was clear to him that his wife and son have died."The search for their recovery will continue, and I hope that that will be successful," he posted. "But he was also incredibly social, athletic, and courageous," he wrote."And he was brave, leading his friends in games, standing up to people who he thought were wrong , and relishing opportunities to go on adventures with friends, even those he'd just met."
