Haughton Community Mourns the Loss of a Beloved and Respected Soul

MINDEN, LOUISIANA — A tragic collision on the night of August 1, 2025, claimed the life of Kendrick Mond Fisher, a 45-year-old Haughton native whose quiet strength and kind heart left a deep impression on everyone he met.

The fatal three-vehicle crash occurred just before 10:40 p.m. on U.S. Highway 80 near Barbeque Road, killing both Fisher and another driver, Brian Frost, 50, and injuring two others. The crash was caused when a vehicle entered the wrong lane—a senseless mistake that cost two lives and shattered a community.

Kendrick Fisher Webster Parish Crash: What Happened?

Head-On Collision Ends Two Lives

According to Louisiana State Police Troop G, a 2017 GMC Yukon driven by Brian Frost was traveling westbound in the eastbound lane of U.S. Highway 80. Kendrick Fisher was traveling eastbound in his 2024 Kia Forte, alongside a 2016 Dodge Charger.

Frost’s vehicle collided head-on with Fisher’s Kia, causing the Yukon to overturn. The Kia then struck the Dodge Charger behind it. Both Frost and Fisher, though properly restrained, were killed instantly.

Remembering Kendrick Fisher: “Always a Smile. Always a Kind Word.”

“We are mourning the passing of Kendrick Mond Fisher, a distinguished gentle giant whose presence touched countless lives over the years. He was a man of quiet strength, God-fearing, kind-hearted, and deeply respected. A class act in every way.”

Kendrick, affectionately known as “Mond,” was a staple of the Haughton community. He worked nearly his entire adult life at the local McDonald’s, not just as an employee, but as part of the heartbeat of the town.

He was known for his warm greetings, dependable spirit, and gentle demeanor. People didn’t just come for food—they came to see Mond.

“He wasn’t just an employee. Always a smile. Always a kind word. Always Mond. That kind of consistency, that kind of spirit, leaves a lasting imprint.”

A Senseless Act and a Deep Loss

Authorities suspect impairment on the part of Brian Frost, the driver of the GMC Yukon. Toxicology results are still pending.

“His life was tragically cut short due to a senseless act… While we may never know what that person was going through mentally or emotionally, the pain that choice caused is real and lasting.”

Fisher’s passenger was severely injured and remains hospitalized. The driver of the Dodge Charger suffered minor injuries. Investigators continue to piece together the circumstances, but the loss felt by the town is clear and profound.

A Personal Reflection on Kendrick Fisher

“Mond was 45 years old, just like me. Though we didn’t graduate together, every time we crossed paths, whether around town or at his job, it was always love and mutual respect.”

“No one wakes up expecting to say goodbye to someone they have known for decades. And no community is ever prepared for this kind of heartbreak.”

“My prayers are with Mond’s family, his friends, his coworkers, and everyone in our town who knew him… This one is tough. It hits deep. But I believe God makes no mistakes. Even in sorrow, there is something to learn. Something to reflect on. And most of all, someone to honor.”

“Mond, your legacy is felt in every life you touched. You showed up every day, stayed true to who you were, and treated everyone with love and respect. That matters. And it will never be forgotten.”

Kendrick Fisher’s Enduring Legacy

In a world often too fast and too distracted, Kendrick Fisher stood out because he showed up, stayed grounded, and made people feel seen. He was a familiar and comforting face to hundreds, if not thousands, over the years.

“May we all take a moment to live more like he did. Showing up. Spreading kindness. Making every person feel valued.”

This tragedy joins the heartbreaking ranks of recent losses like Garrett Duffy in Austin, Texas, and Mandee Connor in Fort Myers, showing again how fragile and sacred life is.

A Message from Louisiana State Police

Following the Kendrick Fisher Webster Parish crash, troopers reminded the public:

“Alcohol and drug impairment remain a contributing factor in nearly half of all fatal crashes in Louisiana. These substances severely impact your awareness, decision-making abilities, and reaction times, leading to devastating consequences.”

Motorists are urged to make good decisions behind the wheel. If you suspect a driver is impaired or reckless, call *LSP (*577) immediately. Reporting it could save lives.

Final Thoughts: Mourning a True Community Hero

Kendrick “Mond” Fisher leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, and quiet excellence. He didn’t need a title or a spotlight to make an impact. His life, lived humbly and honestly, was enough to touch an entire town.

As the Haughton community continues to grieve, one thing is certain: Kendrick Fisher will never be forgotten.
