JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – A Mississippi mother is trying to come to grips with the death of her six-year-old son.

Logan Love died last week after being pulled from the Ross Barnett Reservoir. The incident happened at Lakeshore Park in Rankin County on May 25.

Love’s mother, Tehan Ford, said her son was playing near the water with his died when he disappeared.

“Logan asked him, ‘Dad, take my clothes off. I want to get in the water.’ And he took his clothes off. He was standing over, playing with a little boy, playing with a ball and a water gun. He got in the water, got out the water, got in the water, then got back out the water. And he said the last time Logan got out the water, he went up by the dirt and said, ‘Logan took off running down the peer.’ And by the time he got up to get him, he couldn’t find him in the water,” said Ford.

Reservoir Police Chief Trevell Dixon said the boy was transported to River Oaks Hospital where he later died.

Ford said Love was her only child, and she’s started to talk to a therapist to cope with his passing.

“I have had thoughts of suicide, but I’m not going to react on them, cause he wouldn’t want me to be doing that. But I had to go get myself some help. I went and talked to a therapist this morning at the Behavioral Health Center to get my mind strong enough to deal with the fact I’m going to have to bury him next week,” she said.

Ford said her son was a ball of light.

“He wasn’t the type of kid who wouldn’t let anything keep him down. Even when he was sick with the flu and COVID, he was still up and happy, a joyful little boy,” she said.

Love attended Lake Elementary School in Jackson.
