Tributes

My Son, Blair, battled addiction since the age of 15. He passed away on June 22nd, 2019, at the age of 37, of accidental overdose. Blair went to lots of treatment facilities over the years and was incarcerated a few times as well. Blair was a very intelligent man. He grew up attaining honor roll and taking honors classes all through school. He could have done some really great things with his life. He had a priceless sense of humor and he gave the best hugs. He is a father of a son and a daugher.

We will love and miss you Blair forever!

You were more than my husband
You were my best friend
You were part of my soul
As long as I breathe…..you will always be remembered
Love is not a big enough word or expression.

I lost my precious Son Josh 12/12/16 at 32 yrs old from an accidental fentanyl overdose. He was such a great man that loved his family and friends. I miss his laugh and his kisses so much. My life will never be the same. I started a group to help those who have lost a loved one to overdose. I will fight forever to get this monster out of our country!

To my son Cody Fahm! My son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, God father, and friend! You matter! Never forgotten! Loved you the day you were born to the day I close my eyes for the last time and beyond! Mom❤️

This tribute is dedicated to my daughter Sofia, who is struggling with an addiction to opioids. May Sofia and others enjoy happiness and the root of happiness. May Sofia and others enjoy health and the root of health.

Today my son Jonathan’s life matters! And I can say that without feeling ashamed of the illness of the drugs that took his life. This illness that hooked into his brain did not define him. If asked if he wanted to shoot a needle in his arm or live free without it he would have chosen life. He would have chosen his family. He would have chosen fly fishing and what peace it gave him. He was the happiest little kid you could ever know, and as an adult was a big hearted person who was kind to all and who would have helped anyone in need without a second thought. As his mother I understood and loved him unconditionally. I have grieved the 22 years for each year he used and for every detox, recovery and rehab program that made promises that would heal him of this disease. It has been 3 years now since he overdosed and left us. I still grieve. Our government needs to do is step up and control the influx of drugs entering our country instead of killing our children!

Christopher Wayne, You should be here! I love you and I miss you
Forever and always baby boy💜

My sister Katy Grant. She died on May 7th 2010 of an accidental overdose of pain pills. We love n miss you so much💚

My son Nathan passed away on the 14th February 2020 at home. His post mortem results state heroin toxicity.
He was my only child and we were close. He was such a wonderful and caring person to his friends and a wonderful dad to his son. Through the years, he had his ups and downs and wasn’t the most easiest person to be around at times. He started using heroin in his late teens, went on a methadone program and got off the methadone and seemed to be on the right path until that dreaded day I found him at home. I am a nurse with qualifications in drug and alcohol and yet could not save my own child. He was at college studying music as he is very talented and could play 3 instruments. I miss him terribly, his dog Nigel misses him.

In loving Memory of the father of my children Jose Alberto Morales, Forever 47

In memory of my handsome, tall, strong, intelligent son, who hadn’t used for 3 and a half years. Before that he was in rehabs three times, by his choice. We all question what made him seek out and inhale fentanyl that killed him. It was an accidental death. He wouldn’t have truly chosen to leave his Mom, Dad, sister, extended family, cat, neighbors, friends, coworkers. Or his dirtbike and 4 wheeler. It just doesn’t make sense. He was the safety guy. Always wore a helmet, safety goggles, protective boots and everyone had to wear a seat belt when riding in his truck, or the truck wouldn’t move. He loved bon fires, always with water hose or gallons of water handy. He had narcan taped near his front door and near the inside of his truck door in case he saw someone in need of help. He had friends who are alcoholics or addicted to something else, but he encouraged and supported them to get or stay sober. Come talk with me any time, he’d tell them. He was a hard worker with many talents. He knew everything from mechanical, technical to horticulture. He loved family and would drive hours to be with them. We’re all still in shock. Something has to be done to help people never try deadly drugs and to help them if they do biologically get addicted. Our families, towns, states and nation are loosing some very valuable citizens to addiction.
Collin was one of them and he’s missed very much. 💔

My brother David was an angel from the moment he was born. Enduring abuse, sickness, and struggle, he was still a light to those around him. David was always looking to brighten people’s day with kind words, a listening ear, or a thoughtful gift. Heroin was not something David sought out, older peers put the needle in his arm. He was active in recovery and therapy, trying everything to be well. Addiction is a disease. It is not the person’s fault. A small relapse laced with fentanyl took my little brother’s life and took the sunshine from this world. I can’t wait to see him again!

I have heard it said before drugs did not deserve you. Your life was so much more than how it ended. You suffered with depression and mental problems and the answer you sought killed you. You will be forever 25 and loved and missed, you deserved so much more in this life than you got. We will never stop loving and missing you . Rest peacefully my Aidan, Forever your family.
