Missing Texas Couple Charles and Linda Lightfoot Found Deceased — Details

“Words truly can’t explain the loss we are feeling. She was just a beautiful, young lady who wanted nothing more in her life then to help others, she loved being outdoors, riding horses,” her older brother, Hallister Wilson, said.

Hallister also shared the tragic news in a Facebook post, describing Anneka as the best sister he could have asked for — kind, compassionate, and full of love for everyone around her.

He said she had a gift for caring for others and made people feel seen and valued, whether she knew them or not. He added that she is deeply missed and always will be.

Also on the same platform, Leo’s sister, Shantell Shepherd Hansen, said the family is devastated. She described Leo and Anneka as kind, loving, and full of light, adding that their memory would remain with those who knew them.

According to tributes posted on the same donation campaign website, Leo was remembered as a warm, kind-hearted young man whose presence brought comfort and joy to those around him.

He loved the simple things in life — hunting birds with his dad and brother, working on trucks, and helping on the family farm. His family said he was most at peace when outdoors or doing hands-on work that connected him to home.

One of Leo’s greatest joys was being an uncle. He adored his nieces and nephews, played with them, protected them, and spoke about them with deep pride. He was known for his gentle humor and steadfast loyalty, the kind of presence that made people feel safe and seen.
