I'm so sorry for your loss. I truly know what you're going through. My oldest child, my son Zayne, died on 11.15.2022 from fentanyl poisoning. After needing to investigate him and his bedroom because he & the room were considered a crime scene, the autopsy, then the private viewing/service, he was cremated the day before Thanksgiving. This pain of losing your child is indescribable and unbearable. My heart is broken having lost my son but whatever I have left breaks for you two as well. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts.
I’m from 2003 as well. I feel so bad for the kids, they’re making bad mistakes. I’m sure they would still want to be with their families. Sadly there’s not much parents can do other than to home-school their children, or really get it through to them the dangers of touching hard drugs, or any drugs bought from some shit head at school or off the street. Rest in peace.
So sorry.... Our oldest,Chris, accidentally overdosed on fentanyl 10/1/22. His mom's birthday. We went out to dinner with our granddaughter (his daughter). He asked us to bring him some food back. We tried calling him a couple times. When we got home I found him in the bathroom. He was 37. Tried treatment centers and recovery a lot of times. Drinking and smoking the last few years. Hurt his back at work. An acquaintance gave him the fentanyl. We're still heartbroken. Will be the rest of our lives. My wife and I have over 25 years clean. He thought he could handle his addiction. Prayers for your family....
I lost my cousin on 10/4/2022 i cried i never knew him and I get why but I wish I could have changed it ever since I've shut my family off its not the same he left behind a 2 and 3 year old son and daughter I hope they can get past it and move forward I can't imagine what your going through I hate British Columbia I see there laws and its killing more
this hurts so much to watch. i'm 15 and my dad passed from drug and alcohol abuse, and it hits close. the amount of overdoses from this breaks my heart, it's so scary and gut wrenching. i'm so sorry for your guys loss, i can only imagine.
My grandfather still uses substances, unfortunately I can't do anything about it. I wish there was a way to stop it, but he has been using since the 70's. any drug or alcohol you can think of he has used them.
People… I am so so so sorry for your loss. I lost my son to a drunk driver when he was nine. It’s a void that never gets filled, and a loss never regained. Lots of love and prayers to you all and your loved ones.
to do an interview like this in only 3 mos after the tragic death of your son takes courage. thank you for sharing your pain with us, Mom & Dad. Kevin is all around you, all the time.
I prayed for your family. We lost our 28-year-old son in 2013. There is NO LOSS more profound than the loss of a child, none. Know that the comfort, peace and healing our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ can provide you is unexplainable. Give your heartache to the Lord. Knowing our son is healed and made whole in heaven awaiting our reunion is what helps me to live. Live your life with the joy knowing this is not our home. The time we spend on earth is a grain of sand compared to the beach being forever in heaven. Find joy.
I’m heart hurts for your family. Fentanyl is a horrible drug, that takes so many lives. My friend brother died of a fentanyl overdose last year. You are very brave, to help raise awareness!!! People need to know!
Fentanyl itself is not a horrible drug and is just as safe and useful as any other opioid. The reason it is dangerous is because prohibition makes it dangerous because people overdosing don't know they're taking fentanyl or even when they do, what dose they're taking. If we ended the drug war and people had legal access to buy a safe supply of their drug of choice, people would be buying heroin and other opioids instead of fentanyl, as fentanyl is less recreational and doesn't last ad long. But even the few who would still buy fentanyl wouldn't be overdosing because they would know exactly what they were getting and the dosage so they could use safely. Prohibition kills and until we end prohibition, the overdose deaths won't stop.
@@lorrie_Israel actually it started with China then the US banned them..this is a world wide production. Can't just blame one county most Americans don't like.
@@elizabethnewman1499It's a fact that the Fentanyl is coming in from Mexico being brought over through the US border. They're not going to get a pass because you say so!!!👎
My deepest condolences to you & your family♡ My brother passed away from a fentanyl overdose when he was 20 years old. I was 17. He struggled with addiction & was in & out of rehab for a long time. It's been 21 years now & the pain doesn’t get any less, sadly, but it becomes manageable. May you find peace & acceptance on your journey to healing.
I am so sorry for the pain and loss you are going through. Thank you so much for talking about it. I'm sharing your story with my two boys (10 & 15) to keep up our ongoing conversation about drug use. Kevin's life will be remembered in my home tonight 💙
Please educate your sons on the WHOLE truth about drugs and drug use and about harm reduction like if they choose to use drugs, testing them with test strips to make sure it is what they intended to buy and take, not anything else. To never use alone or let a friend use alone and to have Narcan available and know how to use it so that if an overdose happens, it can be reversed. There's even a service with volunteer you can call and give your exact location to before you take a pill or anything that might be dangerous and if you stop communicating with them they contact 911 in your area and get first responders to you. Drug use is inevitable. It will happen. But death from drug use doesn't have to be.
@@AlexiHolford Well obviously not individually inevitable since everyones situation is different and people have different tendencies which I think all goes without saying, but statistically the more fentanyl that's made the more drug addicts you have, and the more people who overdose and die.
I'm 54 years old and it breaks my heart to see all these kids in their 20s dieing from this crap and our government doesn't seem to care about it at all!
These incredible parents seem like two very loving, compassionate people. I cannot imagine the courage and energy it would take at only 3 months past a child's death to go on camera to talk about it in order to help other families. They are demonstrating incredible empathy as they are just beginning their painful grief journey. Thank you for speaking out and bringing awareness to something that so many of us are just beginning to understand.
I'm so sorry to your family and to your son. Those words don't hold much comfort but I truly am. I know all too well the pain and hell of losing a loved one to fentanyl. You're doing such a great thing by sharing his story. One thing I've learned through all of this heartache is on those really hard, tough days that you can barely get through... remember, you're going through an incredibly awful experience that makes you feel weak but you are strong.
she said if anyone find and see any weird medicine from a pharmacy, we gotta take it out of there immediately rght ?i mean when we see on that place or we comin home ?
I’m so very sorry about your news. My 16 yr old son died in 1991 and it is the one time we are truly helpless. Sending my love and prayers to you, I’m easy to reach if you need to grieve out loud.
Thank you for your bravery in sharing this, in trying to prevent any other family from going through this horror. Thank you for honoring your precious son.
The courage and strength of these parents and family member is so moving. I wonder how the manage to cope with a nightmare and yet can summon the strength to warn others so they can try to protect their own kids. God bless them. My deepest sympathy.
I watch these videos often and can appreciate the families that speak about this, they don't know how many lives they are saving by making this real for all different types of people. Working at a substance abuse treatment facility, I deal with issues like this daily but I get crushed when I hear our patient is no longer with us, it hurts me like it's my family they are my family, I give 150% to make sure they get all the support I can give ♥️♥️
I'm so sorry for your loss and everyone's loss, These videos are so heart breaking. I'm so glad my school has talked about this and spread awareness about it. I hope more schools will work together to educate more students on Fentanyl poisoning and I hope these families will take care.
I really hope high schools will consider holding a “drug awareness assembly” and show these videos. These stories make changes. I’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine 😔
What a painful thing to go through. To Kevin's parents, do not be ashamed to cry or break-down if it's called for. Anyone who is a human being would understand and accept your emotions. I'm sorry for your big loss.
This scares me so much, i have 3 kids and i drill it in their heads not to take pills from anyone....i am so sorry for this family i can't imagine, i can't
I am truly sorry for the loss you are working through. May you find comfort where sorrow abounds, and strength for each new day. God Bless your family.
Teenagers are dropping right and left where I live. They think they're buying Xanax or Percocet from a "friend" at school who stole it from a parent. Unfortunately, it's either pure fentanyl or a mix of oxycodone and fentanyl. It's usually kids who don't normally use drugs, so they have no tolerance for anything, and it hits them like a locomotive. I keep seeing it happening to high school kids who live in nuclear families in upper middle class areas. Sadly, when you scroll through the comments on local news, you'll see nothing but "good riddance" or "one less junkie to worry about." I don't think a kid should die due to a single stupid mistake, but people are cruel. It's a cheap and easy drug to manufacture, which is why it's taking over. You're going to see a whole lot more of these stories, I think. As you see from these videos, it can literally happen to anyone.
Heartbreaking story. Their courage to speak despite their deep and recent grief is commendable. So many lives are lost due to this epidemic of disguised fentanyl poisoning :(
I’m sorry for your loss 😭 I nearly balled listening to this . My mother found my little brother the same way due to an allergic reaction to an antibiotic it hurts me to hear u had to find your son this way . 🙏
i am sorry for this family just when he was getting past the naughty teen time. i am just so sorry. i hope they hold on tight to each other and dont let this break the family apart....such bad bad memories for all of them....do whatever you need to do to heal yourselves. you are a very great family, that comes out loud and clear. cherish that!
I am so so sorry for yr loss, my best friend of 20yrs passed away on 08-09-22 from the same drug. I'm so mad in anger of this drug fentanyl. I wake up everyday feeling like it just happened yesterday. Now it's just the healing process that takes time. My prayers for you and your family.
First at all my deepest condolences to the family and thank you so much for your courage to share trying to help others. I live in Europe, Italy, and I am asking me the cause of this Fethanol epidemic in the States. Is this because doctors submit substances very easily, in the sense : you have this problem, this pain, I give you a pill for it?
I'm a fentanyl addict and sometimes I think it would be better to just not wake up one day but when I think of my family going through this I can't even imagine.
Soo deeply saddened for you and your family. Our friend Glen lost his son in July from Fentanyl overdose. It’s hard right…we think we are invincible and or impervious to the dangers of life. Drugs are being laced with Fentanyl because it’s cheaper for the people manufacturing these drugs and ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS $$$. Thank you for the courage and care to share your families story. Many blessings to you and yours.❤❤❤
I am a mother myself to two teenagers I cannot imagine losing a child its unbearable and you never get over it. I feel for anyone who has lost a child my heart goes out to them its totally heartbreaking 💔
My heart breaks when I see the Dads in these videos. Trying to be so strong for your remaining family and your childs mother when inside you are breaking and your "family life is a wreck." These are good, good men broken by an evil that found its way into their homes without their knowledge or their permission. I see you. I see you all. There but by the grace of god go any of us. 😥🙏
I'm so sorry 💔💔...sending love to all these families ♥️♥️♥️ My little cousin passed from drugs.... spreading awareness makes a difference.......light in the darkness♥️♥️♥️
My best friend died from a fentanyl overdose in 2020. It was one of the toughest things I have ever been through he was only 23 and an extremely bright guy with a very promising future it’s such a shame.
This is such a terrible time for people kids especially You can’t experiment with drugs your life is in jeopardy I’m so very sorry for your loss This is such a tragedy it really is ….I hope you both get counselling this is not something you can recover from without professional help Thank you so very much for doing this video snd helping family’s so they don’t have to go through this His friends no where he got his drugs from and I hope they give up who … these people have to be stopped from killing kids
Prayers for your family. It takes tremendous courage for you to share this; your pain is unconscionable for us parents to even grasp. Hopefully someone will view this and alter their direction, especially if that person is distributing this type of toxin.
I am so sorry for the family and the young boy who was torn from his life. The question of WHY will never end. It’s sheer unbelievable that it’s so easy for people to get access to deadly drugs 😢
Kevin was a good person. And his parents are so strong for being able to speak out about his unfortunate death. Praying for your family that their heart ache will be softened and that they can continue on with their daughter whom they love so much.
God bless you and watch over you. You are so brave for getting on camera to talk about this. I know it will save someone else’s child. Rest In Peace Kevin.
Please reconsider having some sort of memorial/funeral service. So many people will miss the opportunity to mourn and grieve with one another. Especially important for his friends. Actually very important for you and your family.
I'm pursuing law enforcement,so I'm going to show these videos to both my children,rather they're adult ages, I don't care.Sorry for your loss of your son.
Sorry for your loss and God bless your family. Stay strong for each other and maybe it will help you mentally to tell your story and maybe save someone else's child or themselves from simply listening to this heart breaking story. I wish this family all the love and compassion God can give you. I'll pray that you're able to survive this horrible tragedy and that by helping to save someone else with your story that your sins passing will not be in vain and just another overdose but instead a story that someone may listen to to change their lives or someone will hear your story and decide to check on their child a bit more often or notice signs they may not have seen before. My heart goes out to you and I guarantee your son loved you and would have never left you on purpose. This disease is cunning and baffling and makes people do and say things that they wouldnt normally do. Believe me he loves you and misses you but hes also watching over you and I hope by sharing the story you shared with the world that it will bring you some solace knowing you have probably helped several families already. Hope that my words were respectful and not taken out of any context other than coming from a place of love and understanding and well as truly heartfelt grief for your loss. God bless and sorry for the novels I wrote
I'm so sorry and thank you for sharing. My son died recently due to the same drug. People need to understand that buying any drugs off the street, even weed, could be a deadly decision. DON'T DO IT...one pill can kill.
Very sobering channel, just shows what 1 wrong decisions can do to us. What makes it harder is realizing that these were just normal kids that didn’t know any better.
Poor mom. A little over 3 months. She is the one who found her child. It takes a lot of strength to share this story. So sad that parents have to lose these youngsters. Fentanyl is ruthless!
It's the MEXICO'S CARTEL'S that are ruthless and they're responsible for trafficking FENTANYL AND METH AND ALL ILLEGAL STREET DRUG'S. IT'S NOT FENTANYL POISONING IT'S OVERDOSING ON ILLEGAL STREET DRUG'S. PEOPLE LIKE TO CANDY COAT TRUTH. BUT NOT ALL PEOPLE STOOD UP WITH AMERICA'S LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES WHEN GEORGE FLOYD OVERDOSED ON FENTANYL AND METH IN 2020.
Yasss Fentanyl is very ruthless. But the people who selling this stuff is more ruthless than the drug it’s just 😢 and heartbreaking 💔 fly little 🕊💜 🙏🏾🙏🏾
We need to stop sending money to Ukraine so Russians and Ukrainians can kill one another. If we had not sent billions they would have been forced to negotiate for peace. Rather than spending money on this war, why not put our troops on the border and spend some money to fight the inflow of this scourge. 100k+ died from fentanyl poisoning last year. That's a high number of deaths, as if we were fighting a war. Those are the kinds of numbers you might expect. Instead of fighting for own people we are fighting a foreign proxy war so Raytheon can keep up their profits. I don't care about Raytheon stock holders. I care about victims of Fentanyl poisoning!
I'm so sorry for your loss. I truly know what you're going through. My oldest child, my son Zayne, died on 11.15.2022 from fentanyl poisoning. After needing to investigate him and his bedroom because he & the room were considered a crime scene, the autopsy, then the private viewing/service, he was cremated the day before Thanksgiving. This pain of losing your child is indescribable and unbearable. My heart is broken having lost my son but whatever I have left breaks for you two as well. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts.
I'm so very sorry for the loss of your son. 💔
💙🕊🙏💔I'm so sorry for your loss too😔
I’m so sorry ma am
My heart goes out to you 💔
So sorry for your loss.
All these babies passing away. These kids that are younger than me. As a 2003 kid, this is just so heartbreaking. Rest in peace to all of them.
Seriously I’m 01 and I still live with my parents and consider myself a baby. Life is unfair.
Im 05 and this is just sad..
1998 and this is tearing me apart...I never knew this pandemic was so big.
I’m from 2003 as well. I feel so bad for the kids, they’re making bad mistakes. I’m sure they would still want to be with their families.
Sadly there’s not much parents can do other than to home-school their children, or really get it through to them the dangers of touching hard drugs, or any drugs bought from some shit head at school or off the street. Rest in peace.
What I’m sayin it’s tuff Fr

What an unspeakable nightmare for any parent. Unlike drugs of yesteryear, with Fentanyl it's often 'One strike and your out' - no second chances.
So sorry may God give you help with your loss
You're both so strong. I'm so sorry for your loss. Powerful words at the end there mom. God bless you guys. 🙏🏽
shew this one got me. complete honesty from parents. sad to see Austin ruined for them
People are sharing this video and I'm betting it has saved many lives.
First at all my deepest condolences to the family and thank you so much for your courage to share trying to help others. I live in Europe, Italy, and I am asking me the cause of this Fethanol epidemic in the States. Is this because doctors submit substances very easily, in the sense : you have this problem, this pain, I give you a pill for it?
I am so sorry for your loss
I'm a fentanyl addict and sometimes I think it would be better to just not wake up one day but when I think of my family going through this I can't even imagine.
There’s help out there. Call or text 988 to start.
Great big hugs to you both. Thank you for doing this video because it might save some lives ❤
Soo deeply saddened for you and your family. Our friend Glen lost his son in July from Fentanyl overdose. It’s hard right…we think we are invincible and or impervious to the dangers of life. Drugs are being laced with Fentanyl because it’s cheaper for the people manufacturing these drugs and ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS $$$. Thank you for the courage and care to share your families story. Many blessings to you and yours.❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing. So sorry for your loss.
I am a mother myself to two teenagers I cannot imagine losing a child its unbearable and you never get over it. I feel for anyone who has lost a child my heart goes out to them its totally heartbreaking 💔
My heart breaks when I see the Dads in these videos. Trying to be so strong for your remaining family and your childs mother when inside you are breaking and your "family life is a wreck."
These are good, good men broken by an evil that found its way into their homes without their knowledge or their permission.
I see you. I see you all. There but by the grace of god go any of us. 😥🙏
I'm so sorry 💔💔...sending love to all these families ♥️♥️♥️ My little cousin passed from drugs.... spreading awareness makes a difference.......light in the darkness♥️♥️♥️
I pray for your strength. Thank you for spreading this message.
My best friend died from a fentanyl overdose in 2020. It was one of the toughest things I have ever been through he was only 23 and an extremely bright guy with a very promising future it’s such a shame.
I feel your pain. I lost mine May 2021. Watching drugs suck the life out of her over time while I tried to help is an indescribable pain.
This is such a terrible time for people kids especially
You can’t experiment with drugs your life is in jeopardy
I’m so very sorry for your loss
This is such a tragedy it really is ….I hope you both get counselling this is not something you can recover from without professional help
Thank you so very much for doing this video snd helping family’s so they don’t have to go through this
His friends no where he got his drugs from and I hope they give up who … these people have to be stopped from killing kids
Sorry for your loss thank you for sharing this video we need to spread awareness about this aweful drug save lives
Prayers for your family 👪 I'm coming up on 2 years sober from fettenal and everything else 🙏. 3/10/2021 I choose a different way of life!!!
Thanks for sharing My condolences Praying 🙏 for the family
Sad to see these young people dying over a small mistake. I'm used to seeing people in theirs 20s and 30s dying, but these are just kids. Super sad
Prayers for your family. It takes tremendous courage for you to share this; your pain is unconscionable for us parents to even grasp. Hopefully someone will view this and alter their direction, especially if that person is distributing this type of toxin.
I'm so sorry for your loss! I also found my son Jeff also passed July 6, 2020 from fentynal poisoning.
I am so sorry for the family and the young boy who was torn from his life. The question of WHY will never end. It’s sheer unbelievable that it’s so easy for people to get access to deadly drugs 😢
May The Lord have Mercy on This Wonderful Family!! 🙏🙏
Sorry for you loss ❤🙏🏼🥲
Wat vreselijk om mee te maken heel veel sterkte met dit grote verlies medeleven uit Nederland
So very sorry for your loss and God bless you and your family
Kevin was a good person. And his parents are so strong for being able to speak out about his unfortunate death. Praying for your family that their heart ache will be softened and that they can continue on with their daughter whom they love so much.
God bless you and watch over you. You are so brave for getting on camera to talk about this. I know it will save someone else’s child. Rest In Peace Kevin.
I am so very sorry, I can't imagine. There are no words. My utmost sympathy to you, your Family and your friends.
I'm so sad for your family! Dear God help these families
I am sorry for the loss of your son 😢
Please reconsider having some sort of memorial/funeral service. So many people will miss the opportunity to mourn and grieve with one another. Especially important for his friends. Actually very important for you and your family.
I'm so sorry for your families loss!
I’m so sorry. This issue must be addressed at the forefront of 2024. Heartbreaking.
Can't remotely imagine what you as a family are going through. God bless and comfort you .
Can't imagine the pain you are going through, thank you for sharing his and your story. 🙏
I’m so afraid for my kids. I’m so sorry for Kevin.
SO sorry for You losse
I'm pursuing law enforcement,so I'm going to show these videos to both my children,rather they're adult ages, I don't care.Sorry for your loss of your son.
Sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss and God bless your family. Stay strong for each other and maybe it will help you mentally to tell your story and maybe save someone else's child or themselves from simply listening to this heart breaking story. I wish this family all the love and compassion God can give you. I'll pray that you're able to survive this horrible tragedy and that by helping to save someone else with your story that your sins passing will not be in vain and just another overdose but instead a story that someone may listen to to change their lives or someone will hear your story and decide to check on their child a bit more often or notice signs they may not have seen before. My heart goes out to you and I guarantee your son loved you and would have never left you on purpose. This disease is cunning and baffling and makes people do and say things that they wouldnt normally do. Believe me he loves you and misses you but hes also watching over you and I hope by sharing the story you shared with the world that it will bring you some solace knowing you have probably helped several families already. Hope that my words were respectful and not taken out of any context other than coming from a place of love and understanding and well as truly heartfelt grief for your loss. God bless and sorry for the novels I wrote
I'm so sorry and thank you for sharing. My son died recently due to the same drug. People need to understand that buying any drugs off the street, even weed, could be a deadly decision. DON'T DO IT...one pill can kill.
I am So sorry my Heart Hurts for you and your family keep speaking out this is the True Epidemic it is Horrific in my area
Very sobering channel, just shows what 1 wrong decisions can do to us. What makes it harder is realizing that these were just normal kids that didn’t know any better.
I’m so sorry❤
Heartbreaking.
Most parents has no idea of their children life. Unfortunately. 😢
So tragic. I'm so very sorry.
Heartbreaking what beautiful parents may god give you the strength to get through this
Thank you for sharing yr story....so sorry for yr loss ... blessings to you and your family ❤️
My heart goes out to Kevin's mum and dad.
I'm so sorry for your loss, my deep condolences to you and your family 🙏
Poor mom. A little over 3 months. She is the one who found her child. It takes a lot of strength to share this story. So sad that parents have to lose these youngsters. Fentanyl is ruthless!
It's the MEXICO'S CARTEL'S that are ruthless and they're responsible for trafficking FENTANYL AND METH AND ALL ILLEGAL STREET DRUG'S.
IT'S NOT FENTANYL POISONING IT'S OVERDOSING ON ILLEGAL STREET DRUG'S. PEOPLE LIKE TO CANDY COAT TRUTH. BUT NOT ALL PEOPLE STOOD UP WITH AMERICA'S LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES WHEN GEORGE FLOYD OVERDOSED ON FENTANYL AND METH IN 2020.
Yasss Fentanyl is very ruthless. But the people who selling this stuff is more ruthless than the drug it’s just 😢 and heartbreaking 💔 fly little 🕊💜 🙏🏾🙏🏾
We need to stop sending money to Ukraine so Russians and Ukrainians can kill one another. If we had not sent billions they would have been forced to negotiate for peace. Rather than spending money on this war, why not put our troops on the border and spend some money to fight the inflow of this scourge. 100k+ died from fentanyl poisoning last year. That's a high number of deaths, as if we were fighting a war. Those are the kinds of numbers you might expect. Instead of fighting for own people we are fighting a foreign proxy war so Raytheon can keep up their profits. I don't care about Raytheon stock holders. I care about victims of Fentanyl poisoning!
Poor parents, poor family
My friends little sister found her brother and basically her step dad gone from a Fentanyl overdose. I feel for her everyday and their mom
