Light a Candle for Jaylen | 15 Months Without Justice

February 16, 2026 will mark 15 months without Jaylen, and without justice.

On the 16th of every month, we invite you to light a candle at home in memory of Jaylen and in protest of the injustice that remains unresolved.

Families affected by extreme violence should not be ignored or sidelined by the justice system. This is a quiet act of remembrance and a public act of protest. We will light a candle every month until justice is served.

If you participate, please share a photo of your candle and tag us on Instagram. We will repost your photo to honor Jaylen and to demonstrate our resolve. Thank you for your continued support 💙

The Compassionate Friends Worldwide Candle Lighting

The Compassionate Friends Worldwide Candle Lighting

We invite you to light a candle at home in remembrance of Jaylen and his life. If you take a photo, please tag us @justiceforjaylenreeves on Instagram.

The Compassionate Friends Worldwide Candle Lighting on the 2nd Sunday in December unites family and friends around the globe in lighting candles for one hour to honor the memories of the sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, and grandchildren who left too soon. As candles are lit on December 14th, 2025 at 7:00 pm local time, hundreds of thousands of people commemorate and honor the memory of all children gone too soon.

Now believed to be the largest mass candle lighting on the globe, the annual Worldwide Candle Lighting (WCL), a gift to the bereavement community from The Compassionate Friends, creates a virtual 24-hour wave of light as it moves from time zone to time zone. TCF’s WCL started in the United States in 1997 as a small internet observance and has since swelled in numbers as word has spread throughout the world of the remembrance. Hundreds of formal candle lighting events are held, and thousands of informal candle lightings are conducted in homes, as families gather in quiet remembrance of children who have died and will never be forgotten.
