KERRVILLE, Texas — A Texas father left heartbreaking goodbye voicemails for his kids just moments before he and his wife were swept away by raging floodwaters, according to the couple’s son.

Jeff Ramsey, 61, an insurance salesman from Lewisville, is still missing after the deadly torrent struck his Airstream camper at the HTR RV Park in Kerrville, where he was staying with his wife, Tanya, 46, and the couple’s whippet dog, Chloe.

“Once they realized there was nothing they could do, my stepmom was on the phone with her mom while my dad made a call to me and my sister. We were asleep. He left us a message saying he was not going to make it and that he loved us so much, telling us goodbye,” the couple’s son, Jake, told The Post.

“He called me once he realized there was no hope. It was a short voicemail. He just left me a voicemail. He said, ‘Buddy. I love you so much. It doesn’t look like we are going to make it. Tell Rachey I love her.’”

Jeff also used some of his final moments before the water overtook him to warn Tanya’s brother and her mother, who were staying at another cabin about 150 yards up from the river, of the impending danger, calling them at 4:30 that morning.

“He rescued them because they would have slept in and they would have washed away. That cabin was destroyed, completely underwater. He saved their lives,” said Jake.

Rescuers later found Tanya’s body, identifying her by her distinctive tattoos.

Miraculously, the family found the pup Chloe at a local animal shelter because she had been microchipped.

“That was the only good news that we’ve gotten all weekend. My sister and I were overjoyed because that is such a huge piece of my dad’s heart and my step-mom’s heart,” said Jake.

“We were so excited to figure out that she was coming home.”
