A two-time Air Force war veteran and father went missing from Pier Avenue in Hermosa Beach Saturday, and his friends and family were desperate to find him.
"There is just an immense amount of love for him. A lot of people are looking for him," Tyler Vanzandt, his brother, said.
Police said the man, identified as Michael Vanzandt, went missing Saturday at 10:15 p.m. from the Pier Plaza.
He left the American Junkie gastropub, and walked toward Robert's Liquor at 72 Pier Plaza.
His friends and family had not heard from him since.
"He has three beautiful children. They love their dad so much," Monique Nethercott, his girlfriend, said.
Tyler said he was worried because his brother was intoxicated at the time of disappearance.

"My inclination is he went swimming. He was intoxicated," Tyler said.
His brother, Charles, said Michael came to Hermosa Beach to watch the UFC fight from the High Desert area.
He was described as 6-feet tall, weighing 190 pounds, with blond hair and blue eyes.
He has three tattoos, including a tiger in a jungle on his left bicep, a small picture of Buddha on his spine, and the word "Keaton" on his left calf in descending letters.
Anyone who spots him or knows of his whereabouts should call Hermosa Beach police at (310) 318-0360.
