🏀✨ In December 2021, the Simmons family expected nothing more than a quiet drive home after a high school basketball game. Lindy, Christopher, and Kamryn Simmons were laughing, talking, and riding out the familiar rhythm of a Friday night—until a single, reckless decision ended everything.

🚨💥 A driver with a blood alcohol level three times the legal limit crossed into their lane. The head-on collision was instant and unforgiving. All three siblings were killed before they could make it home.

📷🎓 Lindy, a gifted college photographer, saw the world through a lens of light and detail.
🏈📚 Christopher, a committed student-athlete, balanced discipline with quiet determination.
🎂🚘 Kamryn, just 15, was counting down the days until her 16th birthday—dreaming of her driver’s license and the independence it promised.

💔🏠 The silence they left behind was overwhelming. A house once full of movement and plans became unbearably still. But their mother—and a surviving sister—made a choice: the story would not end with loss alone.

🤍🔥 From grief, they built Simmons3, a nonprofit dedicated to preventing impaired driving and changing the culture behind the wheel. They speak to schools, communities, and lawmakers—not just to share a tragedy, but to stop the next one from happening. Every talk is a plea. Every statistic is personal.

🛑🚦 “This was preventable,” the family says. And they repeat it until it’s impossible to ignore.

🕊️🧩 Recently, the family shared a private detail from the crash site—a quiet moment discovered amid the wreckage—that reshaped how they understand the siblings’ final minutes together. It wasn’t about fear. It was about closeness. About being together.

🌱⚖️ As Simmons3 continues its mission, the siblings’ legacy lives on—not just in memory, but in action. Their lives now fuel a movement determined to save others from the same fate.

🕯️🚗 Three seats remain empty—but their voices are louder than ever.
