Lamont Meyers was a 19-year-old who passed away by overdose by ingesting a pill laced with fentanyl in 2020. Lamont brought joy and light to those around him. Growing up in the Rosemont community in the heart of Sacramento and Rancho Cordova, CA, Lamont was loved and admired by his peers, teachers, and neighbors. His infectious positivity and genuine care for others made him a beacon in the community. His mother, Javon, took Lamont to Hagan Community Park when he was a boy, and one reason the 5k will be held at Hagan Community Park.
