Billboard for Brandon and Others Lost | Baton Rouge News

A heartbreaking yet powerful billboard in Denham Springs turns grief into a beacon of hope, honoring loved ones lost to drug overdoses while rallying communities against the silent epidemic. Inspired by the tragic death of 24-year-old Brandon Reeves — whose life was cut short after turning to street drugs when his pain meds ran out — the memorial aims to remind families that their children’s lives were far more than their final moments. With overdose deaths surging locally and nationally, organizers are using visible memorials and community gatherings to combat stigma, foster connection, and save lives — one story at a time. Join them Saturday, August 8th, at 3 PM at the billboard on LA Hwy 16. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
