Summary
A six-year-old Gonzales boy, Raiden Scott, lost his battle with meningitis, leaving his community heartbroken—but also fiercely united. Known for his infectious energy, big smile, and love of basketball, Raiden touched everyone he met. In his honor, neighbors launched fundraisers selling jambalaya and pastalaya, while the city’s youth league retired his jersey number two. His family, including his father who works for the city streets department, is overwhelmed by the outpouring of love. The mayor praised the community’s resilience, reminding everyone that no one has to face hardship alone. Raiden’s funeral was set for July 4th at the Gonzales Civic Center—a day that will honor a child whose spirit still lights up the town.
