NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The body of a missing kayaker has been recovered from Percy Priest Lake.
73-year-old Don Slusser from Pittsburgh, PA was a well-known marathoner and he and his wife were camping at Seven Points. They had spent the past two days kayaking.
First responders were called around 8:30 last night after he disappeared as the storm moved through the area.
The Slussers are considered to be world-record holders for most miles run by a married couple at more than 300,000 miles.

Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.
Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.
Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
