The Issue

My 15-year-old brother, Billy Hayden Jeffery Ledoux, was brutally murdered in a park in Abbotsford BC, a place that should have been safe for him and others.

His life was cruelly cut short, leaving our family devastated. We want to honor his memory and ensure he is not forgotten by placing a permanent memorial bench in the park where he spent his last moments. However, the city has refused our request.

A memorial bench serves as a symbol of remembrance and a place for family and friends to find solace. It's a gesture that can turn a site of tragedy into one of peace. 

This is why we implore the city's leaders to reconsider their decision and allow us to install a memorial bench. Such decisions impact not only the immediate family but also friends, neighbors, and community members who share in the grief of losing a young life in such a tragic manner.

We ask for your support to persuade the city officials to change their stance. By signing this petition, you will be helping us create a lasting tribute to a young life lost too soon, and offering a place of peace for those who have been deeply affected by this tragedy. Your signature could be the difference in honoring my brother's memory. Please sign and help us create a meaningful space for healing.
