Nicholas became separated from his father in the water and rescue teams found Richard Allen Mireles Jr and pulled him from the water.

Port Aransas Police Chief Scott Burroughs told the South Jetty that the department offers their deepest sympathies to the Mireles family after suffering such a difficult loss.
