Found Deceased Shane White, 39 Nest Lake kayaker, from Overland Park KS. May 11, 2024

I grew up in this area so it’s been hitting my local feeds. I don’t think this will be a good outcome, his kayak has been found but not him. I fear he decided to go out to get a better view of Northern Lights, not sure why else one would go kayaking at 11:30pm.

I saw this on TikTok as well however it seemed he was a cable lineman ( working high up) and then went missing. I couldn't understand it. Then I saw comments about a kayak, I'm thinking "What?" I now understand the actual sad situation. Praying for him and his family. All IMO
