In Memory of Mayor Kip Holden​
​
Mayor Kip Holden’s spirit will live on through the countless lives he touched, especially in his steadfast dedication to the Big Buddy Program. Mayor Holden championed opportunities for young people, recognizing that their growth was vital to the future of our city.
Mayor Holden's sharp wit, warm humor, and deep love for this community made him an extraordinary and beloved advocate of our mission. We are deeply honored to be named a benefactor in lieu of flowers — a powerful tribute to his lasting commitment to uplifting the next generation.
The entire Big Buddy family extends our heartfelt condolences to the Holden family during this time of grief. His legacy of compassion and service will live on and continue to inspire youth in Baton Rouge.
