Micah and his family traveled to Crystal Beach in Texas celebrating not only his birthday, but also the end of chemo for his dad.

The body of a Little Rock boy who drowned at a Texas beach over the weekend is now home in Arkansas.

10-year-old Micah Batson loved dancing, his family and Toy Story, according to his grandmother, Heide Burgess.

“Micah was so spontaneous. He had the world by its tail. He was ready for anything and everything that challenged him,” she said.

Two days after his tenth birthday, he and his family traveled to Crystal Beach on the Texas Coast.

It was not only a celebration of Micah’s birthday but also the end of chemo for his dad, Will, who has battled cancer.

“The little boys were building sandcastles and will and Micah were out in the water just playing…”

And that’s when Burgess said her family’s nightmare began.

“From what my son tells me, the wave just caught em. It came up and caught ’em,” she said.

Micah became separated from his dad in the water, after being so close seconds before.

Crews rescued Will about an hour into a search that continued until they found Micah’s body late Saturday afternoon.
