“We all grew up together, so the bond was real, really tight,” said Shamari Jones, Dallas’ cousin. “Couldn’t nothing get between them.”<\/p>\n
Charles Wilson is Dallas’ grandfather and the owner of Big Daddy’s Barbecue. He said both boys loved working beside him.<\/p>\n
“They loved it,” Wilson said. “Just had a great spirit, and they’re gonna be missed here greatly.”<\/p>\n
Family members said the teens were in the back seat of a car headed to work Saturday morning when they stopped at a red light at Edgewood Avenue and Smyrna Street. According to police, a pickup truck towing a trailer carrying two cars failed to stop and rear-ended their car. The crash report said the truck was traveling at 50 mph in a 35-mph zone. Police said the tow truck came to rest on top of the Camry, the car the teens were in.<\/p>\n
“Unbelievable,” Wilson said. “Because I’m like it wasn’t real, you know.”<\/p>\n
Jones described Dallas as playful and affectionate.<\/p>\n
“He’d lean on your shoulder and mess with you,” Jones said. “He can make you laugh too. That was a little love bug right there.”<\/p>\n
The family said they held Logan just as close.<\/p>\n
“I pretty much helped raise him,” Wilson said. “And Logan is like my little brother,” Jones added.<\/p>\n
Logan died three days before his 19th birthday. Wilson said Logan’s parents are heartbroken.<\/p>\n
James Daniels, the father of Logan, sent First Coast News a statement on Tuesday that stated: “To everyone that he encountered, he was either a son, a brother, or a friend. He was truly one of a kind.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Disbelief, shock, couldn’t believe it,” Jones said. “But again, life, you know, life is life. Sometimes things happen that you can’t change.<\/p>\n
First Coast News is still working to learn whether the driver of the tow truck will face charges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dallas King, 13, and Logan Daniels, 18, were identified as victims in Saturday’s crash.
