A Tennessee family is mourning the loss of their 10-year-old girl who was killed in a boating accident over the Fourth of July holiday weekend.

“She was extraordinary. She was just extraordinary in every way,” said Tiffany Scogin.

For many, it’s easy to describe Kaylee Hunt, and if you ask Scogin, the adjectives to describe her cousin quickly come to mind.

The holiday weekend started as normal, as hundreds found fun and relief from the hot weather on the water.

The Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency reported just one fatality after Kaylee died from a boating accident.
