Rosie Jacinto, Logan's mother, was told by investigators that her son likely ran from the car due to head trauma or injury after the crash. She told WFAA that “our hearts are broken” for her son, who leaves behind a wife and two children.

"He just loved his children, worked very hard," Rosie recalled.

Sydonia told KTVT that her other brother who discovered Logan's body in the creek still hasn't processed what happened. "It hasn't hit him completely,” she said. “And he was like, 'I jumped in there sis, I pulled him out of the water. I gave him a kiss and told him I love you.'"

The family also expressed gratitude to those involved in the search of their loved one. "We tried to get to him, he knew we didn't give up on him," Sydonia told WFAA. "Because he would've done it for us."

A GoFundMe created by Logan's aunt, Edith Trejo, for his family has so far raised $8,000 as of Monday afternoon.

“This is a truly devastating tragic loss for the family and community,” Trejo wrote in the fundraiser description. “As Logan was the primary source of income of their household, anything you give during this difficult time would be greatly appreciated.”

PEOPLE reached out to Trejo and the Kaufman County Sheriff's Office for comment.
