In a heartbreaking tragedy from Louisiana, engaged couple Alexus Lee (25) and John “JR” Collins (35) died in separate car accidents just hours apart on the same road—leaving behind their 4-year-old son, Gabriel.
On May 16, 2025, Alexus, a devoted teacher, was driving around 2 a.m. when she lost control of her SUV and crashed into a culvert, dying at the scene. When police delivered the devastating news, JR rushed to the crash site in anguish. Just before 4 a.m., he too lost control of his car, crashing into a tree and dying instantly. Neither was wearing a seatbelt.
The couple had just bought a home together and were planning to marry in February 2026, dreams now painfully cut short. Their families, united in grief, are caring for young Gabriel, saying he understands his parents are “asleep and with God.” A joint celebration of life was held to honor their love, memory, and the beautiful family they built together.
Their story is a haunting reminder of how fragile life can be—and the enduring power of love even in the face of unimaginable loss.
