The family of Scott Meckley, 49, of Brookville, reported him missing on Friday, July 16. Scott's daughter Mercedes Meckley asked the community for help to find her dad. She shared Scott was last seen on Thursday morning, July 15, at the Whitewater River in a blowup canoe just past Sperry & Rice, LLC.

A few hours later, Mercedes shared an update with the community. "Thank you, all, for the prayers. My dad has passed away. Please continue prayers."

Mercedes set up a GoFund Me account with a goal of $2,000 to help cover expenses. 

"I'm raising money towards a headstone and cremation, and if anyone would like to help for a family memorial, any penny will help," Mercedes said. "I'm not sure how to do this or what to say." So far, $800 has been donated. To make a donation visit gofund.me/ce85308f.
