'Wylie's Angel' parents end legal fight over boy's burial | News for Dallas, Texas | Dallas Morning News | Latest News
The parents of a disabled boy found dead last month in Wylie have agreed on the details of his burial.
Six-year-old Gerren Isgrigg will be buried in a private ceremony in Arizona, where his father, a Marine sergeant, has relatives.
The service will take place at a time and place mutually acceptable to the boy's estranged parents.
The agreement, disclosed this morning, apparently ends a court battle between the boy's father, Jerry Isgrigg, and Isgrigg's ex-wife, Nyki Phillips, who had sole custody of the child. The two sides were in probate court in Collin County this morning.
Gerren, who had a seizure disorder and was blind, deaf and unable to move, was found dead near a Collin County pond on April 15. His maternal grandmother, Darlene Phillips, has been charged with his murder.
Jerry Isgrigg said previously that he wanted a Christian funeral and burial in Arizona for his son. Phillips, his ex-wife, had indicated that she wanted the boy's remains cremated or a burial in Arkansas, Oklahoma or Missouri.
Isgrigg had sought and won a temporary restraining order to keep his son’s body from being removed from North Texas until the question of final arrangements could be resolved.
Phillips declined to comment this morning. Isgrigg left before he could be asked for comment.
