GULFPORT, Miss. - When Casey Lawhon heard about the drowning death of a 2-year-old boy named Sawyer, he immediately related to the parents’ pain and knew he had a calling to fulfill.

The 25-year-old found out that the toddler loved Mickey Mouse and came up with a unique way to give the little boy a touching sendoff.

After obtaining permission from the parents, Lawhon wrapped and decorated the toddler’s casket with Mickey Mouse floating on a carpet in the clouds with the message "Never forgotten Little Sawyer" and "I love you Momma and Dad’ee." On the inside of the casket, you can see Mickey Mouse flying towards a cartoon version of Sawyer in heaven. "I think it symbolized peace in a tragic event," Lawhon told FOX Television Stations.
