It has been almost two years since a St. Lucie County teenager, Layne Chesney, lost her life following a more than 16-month battle to recover from severe burns.
Chesney was 14 years old when she threw gasoline on a bonfire on New Year s Eve in 2017, causing burns to more than 90% of her body.
She died 17 months later in May of 2019.
Fort Pierce City Commissioner Jeremiah Johnson wants to have the softball fields at the Lawnwood Sports Complex named after Layne Chesney.
