These are the tragic Texas brothers killed in tornadoes ripping across the South.

Jace Creel, 3, and Dilynn Creel, 8, were identified on social media as the young boys crushed to death Saturday in the back of their family’s car by a toppled tree in Lufkin, Texas.

Their parents survived.

A GoFundMe was set up for the family Sunday by a woman named Kirsten Redd. She wrote on Facebook that her son was “best buds” with Dilynn since they were babies.

“The Creel family lost both boys (Jace and Dilynn) in a storm related accident Saturday,” the GoFundMe says. “All love, support, and prayers are greatly appreciated!”

The 13-year-old boy who drowned in a drainage canal in Louisiana Saturday was identified as Sebastian Omar Martinez. Deputy Glenn Springfield of the Ouachita Parish Sheriff’s Department said Sunday that the teenager died during flash flooding in the community of Bawcomville near Monroe.
