Kailee's Angels
Kailee's Angels is a way for us to honor the lives of people who were killed in a motor vehicle accident and not wearing their seat belt. By sharing their story, we hope to continue to save lives and put faces to the statistics you read. They are not just a number in a data set. They were mothers, fathers, sons, daughters. They were people with dreams and goals and futures ahead of them. We want to thank all of the families for allowing us to share their loved one's life with the world. Please pray for these incredible families who had the strength to share with us! We know what it is like to to lose someone suddenly and too soon, and it is the hardest thing someone can endure. Prayer, support, and trust in The Lord is what helps to keep pushing forward.

Garrett was a rugby player and mechanical engineering senior at Arkansas State University. He was tragically killed in a single car accident on December 15, 2017 when his tire hit a median curb that caused his truck to flip several times before hitting a tree. He was not wearing his seat belt.
His mother, Christi Rollins Soileau, remembers the kind of young man he was:
Garrett Soileau was an incredible young man with a love for life and a passion for the game of rugby. He had a zest for life like we have never witnessed before. He gave of himself to everyone and made this world a better place. In his short 22 years, he accomplished more than most people do in a lifetime. He traveled across the country playing a sport he loved and made lifetime friendships with everyone he came across. He looked at the positive in people and in life and was always willing to give a helping hand. His smile, great bear-like hugs, laugh and incredible personality are greatly missed. Garrett will never get the opportunity to make his dreams a reality. Please don't make a mistake that could cut your dreams short.

Tyler walked into the arms of The Lord on November 5, 2018. He leaves behind his twin brother, his sister, parents, and so many more loving family and friends. While on his way to work, Tyler fell asleep, went off the highway, was ejected and died instantly. Tyler had his entire life in front of him, potential to do great things and a lifetime to impact the lives of others. We truly believe he can still do that. With his story, his life will carry on forever. It will impact the lives of others. It will save the lives of many!

New Task Force:
Greater Houston Region
|
Ed Gonzalez, Harris County Sheriff, along with multiple law enforcement agencies across the Houston region, county and TxDot engineers as well as representatives from the county commissioner's office met today to discuss a new Traffic Enforcement and Safety Task Force. Due to the high amount of overlapping jurisdictions, a forum needed to be created where all the different agencies who are involved with keeping us safe on the road can come together and discuss ideas and implement plans on working together to make the region safer.
David Mills, President of Kailee Mills Foundation, was invited to join this task force to represent us, share our mission, and speak to the group assembled. As this newly developed task force grows and evolves, we look forward to being involved and expanding our opportunities to save more lives.
Ed Gonzalez tweeted:
Today we launched a task force focused on bringing people together from different organizations in order to address the critical issues & tragic results of major crashes in our region. I want to thank all members for attending today.
Thank you, Sheriff Gonzalez and all members, for inviting Kailee Mills Foundation to be part of your task force!
