Boone McCrary , an emergency room nurse, died trying to save a man who was stranded by floodwaters.

His boat capsized in the Nolichucky River in Tennessee after debris-littered floodwaters clogged the boat's motor.

It took four days to find McCrary 's boat and his dog's body, but it took volunteers to scour the river banks.

McCrary 's last TikTok video posted before the hurricane shows him speeding along the surface of rushing muddy water to the tune, " Wanted Dead or Alive ." He wrote a message along the bottom that read: "Some people have asked if I had a 'death wish.' The truth is that I have a 'life wish.' I have a need for feeling the life running through my veins. One thing about me, I may be 'crazy,' Perhaps a little reckless at times, but when the time comes to put me in the ground, you can say I lived it all the way.".
