Family honors teenage son who died suddenly
HOUSTON โ After losing her 17-year-old son to sudden cardiac arrest, a Cypress-area mother was on a mission to help bring awareness to the silent killer that took her sonโs life. His light was dimmed in March 2019 when, at just 17 years old, he died from Sudden Cardiac Arrest, or SCA. โI get outside and I see him in the car and it didnโt look real,โ said Gibsonโs mother, Raqayya Gibson. โYou canโt see it from the outside, thatโs why itโs important to get the screening," Raqayya Gibson said. Itโs a 5-minute test.โGibson started the Healing Hearts: Parents of Sudden Cardiac Arrest group to help other parents dealing with this serious matter.
