Kyren Lacy’s father pens an emotional letter to Parents after his son’s death

The Father of LSU wide receiver and NFL draft prospect Kyren Lacy, has taken to Facebook advising parents following son’s tragic death.

Kenny Lacy writes: “Young parents, start talking to your kids at a very early age and make sure they are confident and comfortable confiding in you,”

“Don’t be cool with ‘I’m Alright, or I’m good’ when you know deep down something isn’t right. Mental Health is real, and for the most part [and] it’s invisible. Don’t ignore the signs, even if they may seem small.”

“Our lives have changed forever and this will never be OK, but God needed my baby more than he was needed here,” Kenny went on. “This has to be the biggest pill our families have had to swallow, but I know the love and compassion in our families will get us through.”

“This will never get easier, but we’ll learn to live with it,” he concluded. “Check on your kids mental!!!!!!!!!!!”

Talking to your kids about suicide may feel uncomfortable, but it’s one of the most important conversations you can have. Silence leaves room for misunderstanding, shame, and isolation—while open dialogue builds trust, safety, and connection. When we talk openly, we let our kids know that their feelings matter, that they’re not alone, and that there is always help and hope. By being present, honest, and supportive, we give them the tools to navigate life’s toughest moments—and the strength to keep going. So don’t wait for the perfect moment—create it. Your words could save a life.

Please Bless Kyren’s family, Lord.
