Hero Saves Two, Loses Third in Undertow | Jacksonville News

Heroic lifeguard James Mack plunged into Huguenot Memorial Park’s choppy waters to rescue two swimmers from a deadly undertow, pulling Nick and his girlfriend to safety — but tragically couldn’t find Donte Wanton, who vanished in the current. Trained since childhood and armed with CPR skills, Mack saved Nick and fought to revive him before diving back in, only to return empty-handed. The ordeal left him hospitalized with breathing issues and heartbreak, as he now carries deep remorse for Donte’s family. Search efforts continue, and a GoFundMe has launched to help bring Donte home — a chilling reminder of the ocean’s power and the courage of those who risk everything to save lives.
