Over the weekend, a devastating storm hit Texas, causing widespread flooding and chaos. Amidst the chaos, a heartbreaking tragedy occurred when four-year-old Lucas Warren was separated from his parents by the raging floodwaters. The young boy, who was found lifeless, had been swept away from his family's vehicle while they were on County Road 528 in Burleson, as reported by the Johnson County Sheriff's Office.
It all started with a distress call around 2am, where a concerned citizen reported that a child, a woman, and a man were stranded in the floodwaters. The family had attempted to walk to safety, but they were quickly overwhelmed by the rising waters. Thankfully, first responders were able to rescue the woman and man and rush them to the hospital. However, their efforts to find Lucas were in vain.
In the early hours of the morning, as the storm continued to wreak havoc, the first responders discovered Lucas's lifeless body in the high waters. The young boy, who was later identified as Lucas Warren, had been separated from his family and tragically lost his life. His mother, Chelsey Warren, who was devastated by the loss of her son, described him as her "everything."
Chelsey explained that she, her husband, and Lucas had been visiting family members in Johnson County when the storm hit. As they were leaving the next morning, they encountered floodwaters on the road and became stranded. In a desperate attempt to escape, they got out of the car, but the water was too strong, and they were quickly separated. Chelsey recalls trying to keep Lucas's head above water for over an hour before a strong current swept him away.
After being rescued and rushed to the hospital, Chelsey received the devastating news that her son had not survived. She shared that the sheriff told her that Lucas looked peaceful and that his clothes were not ripped, almost as if he had fallen asleep. The loss of her bright, sweet, and amazing son has left a void in Chelsey's heart that can never be filled.
As if the loss of their beloved son was not enough, the family also lost their car, wallets, and phones in the flood. They are now facing the daunting task of coming up with the funds for Lucas's funeral. In a heartwarming show of support, a GoFundMe page was created by the father's brother, Aaron Warren, to help the grieving family. The page has raised an astounding amount of over $38,000 as of Monday evening.
The tragic incident has left the community of Burleson and the rest of Texas in shock and mourning. Our hearts go out to the Warren family as they navigate this difficult time. Let us come together to support them in any way we can. Burleson, a town about 45 miles from Dallas, has been deeply affected by this tragedy, and it is a reminder of the unpredictable and devastating nature of natural disasters.
