ROCK SPRING, Ga. (WTVC) – One North Georgia family is grieving the sudden loss of their son.

This is the last picture taken of six-year-old Brantley Chandler.

His mom Meghan Bryson says Brantley loved baseball and he was a proud Rock Springs Mustang.

She says he was on the ball field with his teammates, getting ready to take the team picture when he collapsed.

The next team picture snapped of the Rock Springs Mustangs would be at Lake Funeral home as they said their final goodbyes.

Meghan says Brantley was born with a rare congenital heart defect called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome.

The CDC reports that the syndrome is so rare, less than a thousand children in the United States are born with the defect each year.

It stops the left side of the heart from developing normally.

Meghan says there’s no way she or any mother could’ve prepared for this.

The Rock Spring Athletic Association will hold a special tribute to Brantley on opening day, April 13th.
