The loved ones of Akin Liverpool, 23, are now mourning the loss of someone they describe as a “bundle of joy.”<\/p>\n

“Stand-up, young man. Came from Liberty City, Overtown,” his mother, Roshell, said. “From a mama that had him at 13. And they said that he wasn’t gonna be nothing. And he is. Just graduated May 11 with a double master’s from Barry University. And he graduated with a bachelor’s from Florida Memorial while he was Mr. Homecoming King.”<\/p>\n

According to an incident report released by Florida Fish and Wildlife investigators, Liverpool came to the Austral Marina on Northwest River Drive last Friday with a group of friends to celebrate a birthday aboard the boat.<\/p>\n

The FWC said the boat left the marina at 8 p.m. and anchored at Hobie Beach an hour later. It appeared everyone was still on board when the captain raised the anchor and started heading back to the marina at 10:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

“During the trip, victim had consumed alcohol,” the FWC report said. “He was last seen dancing on the bow, and went overboard undetected on the return trip.”<\/p>\n

One of the people on board then noticed Liverpool was missing, and when they couldn\u2019t find him, they told the captain, and the captain called law enforcement.<\/p>\n

Liverpool’s body was found on Sunday near Brickell Key.<\/p>\n

“I saw him before he left, but he told me, ‘Ma, I’ll be right back.’ And I’m still waiting on him,” Roshell said.<\/p>\n

His family will be holding a vigil on Thursday night as they push for more answers.<\/p>\n

“What stands out even more than football was the person he was,” Clavens Charles, Liverpool’s football coach at FMU, said in a statement. “Any time we had community service events, he was there. Any time someone needed help, he was willing to help. He cared about people and treated everyone with respect.”<\/p>\n
