(January 13, 2009)—An Amarillo man and his teenage son died in a lake accident during a hunting trip in the Texas Panhandle.

Donley County Sheriff Butch Blackburn said Hotan Ahnood, 17, was using a kayak to go out onto Greenbelt Lake to retrieve a bird when the small vessel capsized.

The teenager’s father, Bashir Ahnood, 46, went into the water to try to save his son.

Both drowned.

The accident happened Saturday, a day when temperatures were below freezing.

The bodies were recovered Sunday.

Greenbelt Lake is about 50 miles southeast of Amarillo.

Wow!! Try to go out and hunt, have fun with your kids and something tragic happens. This is horrible. That just goes to show you that there is a tissue like vail that seperates this life from the next. Nobody knows when their time is coming. Live life and let your loved ones know that you love them!!!
