Boy dies after tragic accident
Tuesday, December 06, 2005
By SUSAN DAKER
Staff Reporter
A 2-year-old boy died Monday, two days after his mother backed a truck over him in west Mobile County, near the Alabama-Mississippi border, authorities said.
On Saturday afternoon, Caleb Ryan Scroggins of Wilmer was in his grandfather's driveway on Harmon Williams Road when his mother reversed the truck and accidentally hit him, said Chief Rusty Holloway of the Tanner Williams Volunteer Fire Department.
The boy, who suffered head injuries, was airlifted by LifeFlight-Mobile to a local hospital where he died Monday, Holloway said.
Caleb's mother said he was a rambunctious boy who liked Batman, Superman and motorcycles.
'He was just all boy,' his mother said.
For Halloween, Caleb dressed as a dragon, and for Christmas he was going to receive dinosaur toys, Tanya Scroggins said.
'The best thing I could say, people could just see him and as soon as they saw him they were in love with him,' his mother said.
He loved his daddy, too, she said. 'Every time he would hear his daddy's truck coming he just ran to the door,' his mother said.
Scroggins and her husband, William Ray Scroggins Jr., have two other children, a 6-year-old and 4-year-old.
'This is going to be hard. All my family was supposed to come spend Christmas with us,' Scroggins said. 'I've got to try to hold it together for the other two.'
In addition to his parents, Caleb is survived by his older brother, Dylan Scroggins, and his older sister, Ashton Scroggins, both of Wilmer; his stepsister, Madison Avery Lowe of Mobile; his maternal grandparents, Mary and Roger Rister of Mannford, Okla.; his paternal grandparents, Shirley Lawrence of Wilmer and Raymond and Edna Scroggins of Mobile; maternal great-grandmother, Patsy Crabtree of Locust Grove, Okla.; paternal great-grandfather, Dalton Lawrence of Mobile; and numerous other relatives.
Funeral services are set for 2 p.m. Wednesday at Airport Boulevard Assembly of God Church, with visitation from 11 a.m. until the service time. Interment will take place in Serenity Memorial Gardens. Serenity Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
