I am so very sorry that you lost your best friend…who is now your angel. May Zachariah Rest In Peace, knowing how loved he was & still is. I hope you’re doing ok and are able to find peace with the memories of your beloved cousin. 🤍🕊
@@caroljordt8045don’t be that person please. so weird how there are ppl in the world that put animals above human lives. out of everything she said all u heard was that? DISGUSTING
@@anon681 How is it NOT considered poisoning in some cases? I am sorry to answer your question with another question but it depends on the situation. Someone who is knowingly taking fentanyl and is aware of the risks can arguably be considered an "overdose" victim but someone who believes they are taking a drug other than fentanyl can be labeled as a victim of fentanyl poisoning.
@texaspicturesdocumentaries I also live in Houston, in the Clearlake area, and there are two billboards one in front of the other, with pictures of victims that have passed away due to FENTANYL! My 25 year old daughter started crying and my soon to be 17 year old son, just stared at the billboards.... I'm glad with the new law that just went into law today, now those selling FENTANYL are going to be charged with murder. I hate giving these videos a like, because each life story hurts so much, but I appreciate what y'all are doing. Thank you Texas Pictures Documentaries. God bless 🙌
We are also in the Clear Lake area and yes, I have seen the signs too. All of the faces on those billboards are stories we have shared here. We provided the contact information for the state to contact the families for the pictures.
@@TexasPictures Thank you so much. God is watching the good things that you're doing for the community. We all need to be aware of anything that has to do with fentanyl. I truly appreciate everything you do.
very well spoken baby cousin! he is definitely looking down proud of how you spoke for him , i say this every video and i will continue to. rest well zach, No more pain 🕊️❤️
She said he was coming home and just wanting to door dash and go to sleep. I wonder if he was already using again then and no one knew. It sounds like a reoccurring theme in these stories, wanting to eat some food and go rest in their room but they end up taking something while in their room. So sad all the devastation to the family members left behind. May he finally be at peace, no longer fighting his demons.
I’m sorry for your loss… his choice of careers is a very hard one for sober living. Unfortunately the entertainment industry is full of addicts and alcoholics.
These story’s are needed so much more than we realize. Thank God for these families willingness to speak out about their losses. Gods gifts are given to us in so many ways and all of these losses absolutely mean something to the entire world. These angels lost their lives to teach others (no real words to express) the consequences of drugs and so many other sources of information that is unfortunately necessary in today’s world. It’s hard to say strong enough and hard enough my appreciation and compassion and gratitude to these families and to the loved ones who lost their lives to send these messages to help save lives.
One of the most devastating things about drug addiction and overdosing is the trauma the family and friends are left with that lasts a lifetime. My heart goes out to ALL the victims of this horrendous epidemic!🙏🏻❤️⚘️
Such a beautiful Cousin u are, wow u look like my second cuz. Thanks sweetheart for sharing Zach's story. Truth needs to be told! Everyone have a blessed, safe holiday. Love u all. 🤍🌺🤍
I’m in Utah & street drugs laced with Fentanyl & who knows what have flooded the streets 😢. We have had so many overdoses! We are losing so many people to this poisoning 😢.
The way his cousins face lights up when she talks about him is so sweet. Tells me a lot about him as a person. Glad she has those memories to comfort her.
No. Hands off of drugs. Period. It starts with marihuana. My son passed. He believed that m j was fine per a phd who wrote a book all about m j. That was his Biblical into to m j and later drugs. The addiction made him live through mental hell.
Hi all, from Liverpool UK 🇬🇧. I watch these heartbreaking uploads and I truly do feel so much for you. For you all who have gone through this, losing a loved one, and grieving them, but also trying to move on every day in life. Big love and Scouse hugs 🫂. These dirty dr*gs and poison devastating lives 😢
Rip to this young man and condolences to his family and friends. Watching these stories makes me sad and mad at the same time. What are our government officials doing to fix this problem?Why is weed illegal in most of our states?. But somehow fentanyl is being used as a bio weapon against our youth and struggling addicts.,yet nothing is being done about it. This stinks to low hell. Really pisses me off .
I can't count how many addicts told me they started with Marijuana. Ppl don't realize it's a gateway drug for many. Marijuana should not be looked upon as an "Acceptable" drug. Be informed.
I don't mean everyone who uses Marijuana will graduate to stronger drugs, I'm saying if you have other vulnerability factors it could lead to other drug use. In response to the comments, I never said "everyone "and use your common sense.
@@francessavella7825agree and I understand your implication. Her statement “he used but we knew he’d be ok” really threw me off. No judgement at all from me just trying to understand. Rest In Peace Zach 🕊️
😞 My heart aches more with each story I hear. I'm so sorry for your loss. You are right, though. He's an angel now, but he's still with you and hears you when you talk to him. Look for signs from him like change on the ground, feathers or cardinals, and butterflies. You will see him again someday. Keep an open mind and an open heart. These are things I believe, and they comforted me when I lost my boyfriend to fentanyl poisoning. ❤🕊
I'm so sorry for your loss!!!! I have 2 adult children that were literally smoking that stuff. Thank the Lord, they're both sober now. God bless you sister ❤
I'm so sorry for your lost 😢. I know first hand what addiction is like. I was addicted to opiates for 7yrs. Thank God I'm sober today an have been for 4+ yrs. I have lost a lot of ppl to addiction I'm one of the lucky ones that made it....
Sadly, 'one last time' seems to be a beginning again after being clean. It's good how you pointed out weed was the gateway to the path Zack subsequently walked along. As you described your Zach, I recalled people with addictions in my life who are just like Zack. Caring, creative and loving. Thank you for sharing with us. ❤
Nie rozumiem amerykańskich młodych ludzi. Czy nikt ich nie ostrzega przed konsekwencjami brania narkotyków od najmłodszych lat. Był spełniony i szczęśliwy, robił to , co kochał robić, więc po co mu były potrzebne narkotyki????? Czy ludzie w USA nie mają rozumu????
I am also an ángel mom I loss my son from acute fentanyl toxicity my heart goes out to his parents may god give you his strength and comfort in my prayers !May he rest in paradise
You are BEAMING for your precious cousins light to be conveyed to others and for his life to not be in vain! Bless your soul! Prayers for your family♥️♥️♥️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
What a sad loss of a promising young life. He waited until his Mother and brother were out of town to take the heroin possibly for privacy and so they wouldn't have to see him high. I hope they feel no guilt for not being there. He was an adult and it was his choice to do the drugs. His cousin obviously adored him and she spoke very lovingly of him. One thing she said that disturbed me was when talking to her Father on the phone and she thought the family dog had died and she yelled 'It's just a dog!' I was saddened to hear her say that. Dogs to me are everything. I miss my babies that have passed every day. They aren't human because they to me are better than humans. Condolences to Zacc's family.
The remark I made was to get my father out of a state of shock, he's a grown man and hearing his daughter yell at him could've brought him out of it. Animals are amazing, and none died that day! I love my dog, I was just trying to snap my dad out of something that was much harder than losing his beloved animal.
@@christabelsuarez2339 I understand. I just love my dogs so much that even after 4 years I am devastated that my little girl is gone. I am glad you are an animal lover. Again I am so sorry for the loss of your talented cousin. You are helping other people by sharing your story and that is amazing. Thank you for your reply.
I worked with Zach for a short while, and I can tell you he was the most genuine person. We barely talked, but the times we did it was always bc he started it with a compliment. When I found out he died I was in complete shock. He had left the job a couple weeks before, and it took me by surprise that he was gone so fast. I pray he's resting wherever he is. #FreePalestine
Every time I see a picture come up on my YT feed I say to myself, Not another one 😢and I immediately say a prayer for the person in the picture and their family. These are only the stories coming out of a small part in Texas, I can’t imagine the number of people in my city who have passed due to fentanyl poisoning. Thank you for sharing Zach’s story, sending you and your family lots of love ❤️ and hugs 🤗
I wouldn’t exactly say a small part of Texas. We shot stories in Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, El Paso, McAllen, Brazoria, and we will be shooting stories in Beaumont in a couple of weeks. We are also organizing storytelling events in Detroit, Chicago, and other locations.
@@TexasPictures oh wow, here I thought you were in one or two cities in Texas. Well thank you for educating me. I think everywhere is small bc I live in Albuquerque, NM which is very small 😂 Well I really commend you for showing these stories. I have a 19 & 23 yr old and I share the videos either them, I especially shared the video where the mother was on camera finding her son 😢 It’s horrible but for me personally I’ve got to share the families stories so my children can see what parents go through. I thank the families for sharing the most heartbreaking stories ever. I can’t imagine it’s easy.
Thank you for sharing your story. I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm so sorry you are hurting. Zach sounds like a great person. I am praying for comfort and peace for your family 🙏💗
The young man hadn't really even lived yet, It's always the best people who leave way to soon. My family will pray for Zach's friends and family, I'm truly sorry.
Another unnecessary death of a way too young to die lovely human being named Zach! He had so much lifetime left on earth and now he‘s gone forever, but he will be remembered because he touched so many lives, especially the lives of his caring family! When is the time that someone form the government declares war to the Fentanyl Poisoning Disease??? So many people die, way too many, and so many lives are destroyed because of that horrific drug! Every time I watch a new episode of this format it‘s heartbreaking to see and listen to. But one the other side it‘s so important to raise awareness and I really hope, pray and wish that these episodes will have an impact on society as huge as the Grand Canyon. Also thanks again to @Texaspicturesdocumentaries for giving the families a platform for their message! With sad regards from 🇩🇪, Philipp
@@TexasPictures Sadly there are cases here in Germany. I have to dig into the numbers deeper cause I could only find a number of Fentanyl related deaths for the year 2021, and in this year 2021 we had 102 deaths because of Fentanyl Poisoning. Deaths related to opioids in the year 2022: 1194 These were the numbers I could find in a quick Google search, but I‘ll dig deeper into it and then let you know, okay? 👍
I sent this video to my cousins husband. He sent me a video back of him flushing his drugs down the toilet. He checked into Rehabilitation 30 minites ago. He is going miss his first childs birth, but he said he rather miss that than the Rest of her life. Thank you for this.
Holy cow. That’s pretty awesome. Thank you for sharing. We also have a series of Recovery stories that you and your cousins husband might find interesting.
@@TexasPictures he stated he didn't want me featured on this channel talking about him. Because I already speak about my other cousin on Tiktik. I have watched the recovery series. He will as well
Hey using drugs is a choice ..he knew the risk and price to pay to play ... Clearly he never got past step one ..how about the people who overdosed that don't have anyone to talk about them Iam one of those people who has nobody I currently am struggling with fentanyl perk 30 I currently live in a fake ass clean and sober house .Iam mentally and physically abused by the owner also I'm forced to work for him . He doesn't pay i have had everything of value stolen from me ..I honestly want to die ...Iam by far a amazing beautiful man out side and in with such a selfless heart ..I love who Iam .. This is why it hurts me so much ..but I don't have any loved ones who have money to make u tube videos ..sucks knowing my story or me will nevér be know this is real and raw I'm just a slave now ..I hate my life
None of our storytellers pay anything for us to create and share their stories. Sometimes sponsors will help cover lodging for us when we travel, but that's it. The only other compensation we receive is from TH-cam advertising. It isn't much for this volume of work, but it is enough that we can afford to keep creating these stories. We're certainly open to sharing your story. We haven't turned anyone away. We're based in Houston. You're welcome to email us (info@texas-pictures.com). We also have a growing series of recovery stories you might find interesting. Here's the playlist - th-cam.com/play/PLdCPA32W_p39Z8hi7xSIX3Fkqmhd7mRzj.html&si=oiLMVee9APaMZTXV You might also find some guidance or fresh ideas by calling or texting 988.
That sounds absolutely awful. How can you stay clean if there is no light of love and support to motivate you. Honestly, I feel really hurt for you. I hope you understand that each journey begins with one step. The world is huge and there is a place for everyone. I send you love and best wishes from the UK
You are never an " ex addict".You may be a recovering addict but it takes work every day to stay sober. God Bless each person in recovery. I will pray every day for you.
These biographies are absolutely heartbreaking.. Too many wonderful souls taken far to premature because of the scourge of Illicit Fentanyl.. How do these awful people whom are responsible for making and pushing this drug onto unaware individuals. It's Insidious. 💔💔💔💔 My heart aches for those gone too soon, and for the families, friends, and Communities left bereft by Fentanyl added to and 'marketed' to folks just thinking that they're getting Tylenol 3 or something similar....
He looked like a wonderful boy - so full of love. I'm truly sorry for his loss. Tragic. These people are laying their souls bare to try to save other kids - other families.
You can really just feel the love that you have for your cousin, it’s in your eyes, it’s in your voice it’s literally radiating off of you. You’re an incredible storyteller, the talent runs deep in that family. I’m so so sorry for your loss and even though just five minutes ago you were a complete stranger, it’s such a comforting feeling knowing that he had/has so much love around him even in the afterlife. Keep sharing keep making sure that his memory stays alive.
Hold up… “It’s just a dog.” Girl. Why would you say something like that?! Look, I’m so sorry about your cousin, but, why would you say, “it’s just a dog”? Dogs are family, too! 😢
We can't all feel the same way towards dogs/pets. Some ppl don't care for dogs and in a state in my country, dog meat is actually a delicacy. I'm not from that part and will never try it, but it caused a big argument recently on social media. One group kept saying dogs are family members and should not be eaten while the other group said this has been going for decades, respect our culture, we enjoy it and there's nothing you can do about it. I say all these just for you to know ppl won't always see things the same way. I have heard ppl express the fact that they can't get the obsession others have with dogs. At the end of the day, everyone is entitled to their thoughts/feelings/opinions. And if ppl had to pick btw a dog dying and a human, I want to believe most will pick the human🤷🏾♀️
Hello All !! I appreciate all the support! Zach was so amazing ! I feel all the love ! Thank you guys !
Just a dog 😢
I am so very sorry that you lost your best friend…who is now your angel. May Zachariah Rest In Peace, knowing how loved he was & still is. I hope you’re doing ok and are able to find peace with the memories of your beloved cousin. 🤍🕊

These videos absolutely break my heart. The media needs to do more to get the story out there. People need to know how deadly Fentanyl is.
Isn't it just terrifying? Here is another video and there seem to be countless other stories of people dying from the same drug. This has to stop.

These were the numbers I could find in a quick Google search, but I‘ll dig deeper into it and then let you know, okay? 👍
@@5ShotProductions sounds like a plan
I sent this video to my cousins husband. He sent me a video back of him flushing his drugs down the toilet.
He checked into Rehabilitation 30 minites ago. He is going miss his first childs birth, but he said he rather miss that than the Rest of her life.
Thank you for this.
Holy cow. That’s pretty awesome. Thank you for sharing. We also have a series of Recovery stories that you and your cousins husband might find interesting.
@@TexasPictures he stated he didn't want me featured on this channel talking about him. Because I already speak about my other cousin on Tiktik. I have watched the recovery series. He will as well
I'm so so sorry😢. Peace for you all.

None of our storytellers pay anything for us to create and share their stories. Sometimes sponsors will help cover lodging for us when we travel, but that's it. The only other compensation we receive is from TH-cam advertising. It isn't much for this volume of work, but it is enough that we can afford to keep creating these stories.

That sounds absolutely awful. How can you stay clean if there is no light of love and support to motivate you.
Honestly, I feel really hurt for you.
I hope you understand that each journey begins with one step. The world is huge and there is a place for everyone.
I send you love and best wishes from the UK
I pray for grace and healing comes to your entire family soon. ❤
You are never an " ex addict".You may be a recovering addict but it takes work every day to stay sober. God Bless each person in recovery. I will pray every day for you.
Please scream it loud and frequently,MARIJUANA IS A GATEWAY DRUG😢
Rest in peace, Zach. This is heartbreaking, and what's even worse, treatment for drug addiction is not easily accessible
Rest in peace sweetheart . He looked like such a nice guy. A smile that heaven needed.his smile is contagious.
sorry for your loss. i lost a friend this summer to fake pills.
I am sorry your cousin relapsed and lost his fight. So heart breaking.
He seemed like a cool dude. We always think our ppl are invincible. It's not supposed to be our person. I'm so sorry for your loss.
She reminded me of that movie when the mom goes Ritchie not my Ritchie
I'm so sorry that this happened.
So sorry for your loss, he’s safe in the arms of Our Lord 🙏🙏💕💕🇮🇪
Amen
Thankyou for sharing prayers for all your ❤s
🙏🙏🙏
Your smile is so amazing
I’m so very sorry, he truly sounded like a wonderful amazing and talented person. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.
Kensington also is suffering, all around the world this dang epidemic is just evil..... Rip ZACH and many others
So sorry for your loss 💔🙏🏽
These biographies are absolutely heartbreaking..
Too many wonderful souls taken far to premature because of the scourge of Illicit Fentanyl..
How do these awful people whom are responsible for making and pushing this drug onto unaware individuals. It's Insidious. 💔💔💔💔
My heart aches for those gone too soon, and for the families, friends, and Communities left bereft by Fentanyl added to and 'marketed' to folks just thinking that they're getting Tylenol 3 or something similar....
He looked like a wonderful boy - so full of love. I'm truly sorry for his loss. Tragic. These people are laying their souls bare to try to save other kids - other families.
Damn. Zach was lucky to have you in his life while he was here. Stay strong 💪 time will help & know he will always be with you.
Im so sorry for your family's loss. You're an amazing strong young woman for sharing.
You light up when you talk about him. Your smile is radiant. Remember he’s never far.🙏
Rest In Peace Zach 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Prayers For The Family 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Smart beyond her years. Marijuana comes up in all these tragic stories. It is a gateway drug.
You can really just feel the love that you have for your cousin, it’s in your eyes, it’s in your voice it’s literally radiating off of you. You’re an incredible storyteller, the talent runs deep in that family. I’m so so sorry for your loss and even though just five minutes ago you were a complete stranger, it’s such a comforting feeling knowing that he had/has so much love around him even in the afterlife. Keep sharing keep making sure that his memory stays alive.
This one hurt especially hard. She’s a great storyteller.
Zach lost an incredible cousin...😔
Yes marijuana is the gateway drug!
I'm sorry 🙏🏽
Hold up… “It’s just a dog.” Girl. Why would you say something like that?! Look, I’m so sorry about your cousin, but, why would you say, “it’s just a dog”? Dogs are family, too! 😢
She probably didn’t mean it like that but it’s the shock.
Everyone will not feel the same way about a pet .. everyone have the right to feel like they feel
Chill the fuck out a million dogs aren't worth a human life
We can't all feel the same way towards dogs/pets. Some ppl don't care for dogs and in a state in my country, dog meat is actually a delicacy. I'm not from that part and will never try it, but it caused a big argument recently on social media. One group kept saying dogs are family members and should not be eaten while the other group said this has been going for decades, respect our culture, we enjoy it and there's nothing you can do about it. I say all these just for you to know ppl won't always see things the same way. I have heard ppl express the fact that they can't get the obsession others have with dogs. At the end of the day, everyone is entitled to their thoughts/feelings/opinions. And if ppl had to pick btw a dog dying and a human, I want to believe most will pick the human🤷🏾♀️
@@nanaross3598 Then they shouldn’t own pets.
I’m so sorry. Absolutely devastating
