A little boy battling cancer from Jersey City who received his own parade sadly died on Saturday, according to Jersey City Police.

On most days, Parth Patel was a 4th grader battling cancer who just wanted to go to his school PS 27 in Jersey City. He also loved superheroes and wanted to be a police officer. So guess what? He got his wish.

“Look at his smile! This is what it’s about!” said Adrienne Morrell, Jersey City Police Department.

His day started riding shotgun with Batman.
