Rose Kehoe and Kris Meade

Impact Speakers

Rose Kehoe and Kris Meade suffered an unimaginable tragedy in November 2022 when an impaired driver killed their 17-year-old son, Braylon Meade. He was driving home after hanging out with friends when the impaired driver, speeding at 94 miles per hour, struck Braylon at an intersection in Arlington, Virginia.

Braylon was a high school senior and point guard on the varsity basketball team. He had already been accepted to the University of Michigan — but sadly never got to attend as a student. His parents keep his legacy alive by raising awareness of the dangers and consequences of impaired driving and for everyone to always choose a sober ride home. Braylon’s parents also raise funds for scholarships in his honor through the annual Ginger Cup Golf tournament, Braylon Meade Basketball Classic tournament, and ongoing donations from family and friends across the country.
