A father jumped into water instinctively when his son fell into the river. The 6-year-old was rescued by a passerby, while the brave father, who could not swim, drowned. While his family grieved, precious photos of the father’s last moments captured by a bystander became a gift to comfort their souls.
Malik Williams, 25, went fishing with his family at Ben Butterworth Park in Moline, Illinois. He was sitting at the dock with his then-6-year-old son, Jaden, while Jaden’s mom, Heather, was nursing their newborn baby in the car.
