Services for Aaron Cummings, 16, and Nicholas Cummings, 14, Chandler, were held this afternoon at Pine Cove Christian Camp Gymnasium, at the Timbers Location, with Chaplain Chris Legg officiating.

Burial was in Chandler Memorial Cemetery under direction of Chandler Memorial Funeral Home.

The brothers died from injuries suffered in an auto crash Monday while on their way to school at Brownsboro High. According to an initial accident report by the Texas Department of Public Safety, the two brothers were traveling in a pickup along Farm-to-Market Road 314, about one mile south of Brownsboro.

Near the intersection of FM 314 and County Road 3418 a driver, believed to be the elder teen, lost control of the vehicle which veered into a ditch and caught fire trapping the boys inside.

Aaron was born Jan. 21, 1992, in Lufkin and was a junior at Brownsboro High School. He worked for Brookshire’s Grocery Co. in Chandler, according to information from Chandler Memorial Funeral Home. Nicholas was born Oct. 31, 1993, in Dallas and was a freshman at Brownsboro High.
