RIAN TAYLOR BRAZELTON
Was a vibrant, kind-hearted young woman who loved cheerleading, singing, and spending time with family. Her life was tragically cut short at 27 due to accidental fentanyl poisoning.
Rian’s Song was created in her honor to prevent other families from experiencing such a loss. Through our programs, we empower young women to get the support they need.
"REMEMBER ME"
Speak of me as you have always done. Remember the good times, laughter, and fun. Share the happy memories we've made. Do not let them wither or fade. I'll be with in the summer's sun And when the winter's chill has come. I'll be the voice that whispers in the breeze. I'm peaceful now, put your mind at ease. I've rested my eyes and gone to sleep, But memories we've shared are your to keep. Sometimes our final days may be a test, But remember me when I was at my best. Although things may not be the same, Don't be afraid to use my name. Let your sorrow last for just a while. Comfort each other and try to smile. I've lived a life filled with joy and fun. Live on now, make me proud of what you'll become.

Rian, was a joyful spirit full of dreams. She loved dance, cheer, music, and family especially the role of future Auntie. Though Rian bravely faced and overcame depression for a time, a devastating loss cast her back into its shadows. Seeking solace, she tragically turned to drugs, a path that ultimately led to her death by fentanyl poisoning. Her memory is held close by her heartbroken parents, siblings, and a multitude of friends.Though her light was extinguished too soon, its warmth endures through Rian's Song, an organization dedicated to protecting and uplifting vulnerable lives.
Her light lives on through the lives Rians' Song aims to protect and uplift.
