In Loving memory of Jeremy Traylor

1990 to 2009

Jeremy Joseph Traylor was on top of the world in this picture. He was happy, and was doing great in the 9th grade. He also had the most caring girlfriend one could have. He was only 15 and half years old in this picture and he was happy along with recovering from Katrina at this point in his life.

However, on May 20th, 2009, Jeremy Traylor died from an overdose of OxyContin just one week after his high school graduation.

We all miss Jeremy so much and we hope to help others from losing such wonderful children as we lost our son.

Please read his story and find out how you can support Melissa Traylor along with her efforts in trying to help families who may be facing similar problems!

Jeremy was only 18 year old and his story can be found here. http://www.225batonrouge.com/news/2010/feb/01/deadly-doses/

Why are we printing this on our website? Because we are trying to bring attention to how we along with others can help those in need when it comes to drug addiction, or other sustance abuse, including those who lost a family member due to drugs, prescription drugs, or alcohol. We are speaking out about how we lost our son, Jeremy Traylor, so that we may help others to avoid mistakes or prevent a future death. Our son was a bright boy who at the age of 16 got caught up with the wrong type of friends and started taking prescription drugs and was able to hide this from his parents up until a year and half later when he was 18 years old. He started taking OxyContin (oxycodone) and seven months later he died. As his parents we were heartbroken that he went down so fast and we tried everything to save him, however in the end we could not. Please read about his story and learn how you can help other children who may get caught up in this downward mistake that can cost yet another life.
