State:  Colorado, 80923
Date of Passing: 11/13/2015
Date of Birth: 6/17/1996
Age: 19 

Tell Us About Them:

McKenzie was so bright. She loved reading, drawing, painting, and music. She could make an entire room laugh with just one perfectly timed look or a single word. She loved her cats and family fiercely, probably in that order. She advocated for social justice and stuck up for the underdog.

Tell Us About Their Struggles With Addiction:

McKenzie suffered from anxiety and Borderline Personality Disorder. She started cutting in middle school and then got involved with an abusive boyfriend who hurt her physically and emotionally, and introduced her to opiates. She started with dialysis pills an fentanyl lollipops and patches. She switched to heroin. She fought so hard to get clean, and we fought with her. She had just gotten out of detox and moved to CO (with her grandparents)from GA to remove herself from temptation 7 weeks before she overdosed. My mom found her in the bathtub.

What Made Them Smile?

Her brother was her favorite person. They loved listening to music together and they had a million inside jokes. I love to bake and whenever I made one of her favorites, she'd smile her megawatt smile and kiss me on top of my head and say, "It's my best day!" Her cats Biff and Sock made her so happy.

What Do You Miss the Most About Them?

I miss her laugh. I miss her wit, and having long conversations with her about politics and feminism and everything else. I miss her scent. I miss her always perfect hair and makeup advice. I miss how whenever she or I came home, she'd lean over so I could kiss her head.

If You Had a Chance to Say One More Thing to Your Angel What Would It Be?

I love you, and I need you. You are enough. I know that you don't believe that, but you are worthy of a long, happy life, and so am I, and neither of us will have that if you leave. I love you I love you I love you.

Matthew kept that part of his life mostly to himself,I knew about it and tried to help,but he lied a lot about it alot,he took off and I didn't see him for a while but a few years ago we got back together and I discovered that if I wanted to have any part of my son is was going to have to not judge him or harp at him every time I heard from him or saw him,and that while our relationship was going to be difficult and different, we made a deal that I would simply live him and he would not steal from me,I held up my end of the deal,and I loved him and he knew it.

Matthew smiled at most things,he confused me at times that he could smile so often while in so much pain,he smiled at me when I would come see him,he was homeless but we would meet and have a meal and he would smile when he saw me pull up in the car,and would continue to smile through our whole meeting, but most of all he would smile when I talked about his brother and sisters

2015/07/28 - Michael Stevens - Age 23 yrs - Albrightsville, Pennsylvania

Submitted by: Toni Stevens - Parent

Name: Michael Stevens
State:  Pennsylvania, 18210
Date of Passing: 07/28/2015
Date of Birth: 09/10/1991
Age: 23 

Tell Us About Them:

Michael was the youngest of my 4 children. He was my baby. He was the brightest and most inquisitive of the 4. he had an innate talent in fixing things. As a baby, he would break his mechanical toys apart because he wanted to know how they worked. I bought him the Reader's Digest book, "How Things Work"when he was 7. As an adult, he worked as an audio installer and did different types of fabrications for cars, boats and motorcycles. He never went to school for this - he was intuitive and learned on the job. He took his electrical certification and passed on his first try without ever studying. He was crazy smart and talented. His goal was to have a shop of his own.

Tell Us About Their Struggles With Addiction:

Michael became addicted to percocet following dental surgery. He was living in Tulsa at the time. When he could no longer get his prescriptions refilled it transitioned to Roxycodone. Some ass showed him how he could crush his pills and mix with water and inject it. Everything fell apart for my son. Money went to support his addiction. He lost his apartment, his furnishings, his car was repo'ed and each and every time I bailed him out. He eventually moved back home to PA where his self destruction continued. Roxies weren't as available here in the Poconos but heroin certainly was. Stints at rehab were predicatably ineffective. My son was clean for 3 weeks were the pressure to use was overwhelming. He shot up what he normally used. I found him dead on my bathroom floor. The most horrific day of my life.

What Made Them Smile?

Michael loved to fish, he loved his pets and his siblings and his friends. He loved my cooking and was always home for one of my dinners.

What Do You Miss the Most About Them?

I miss everything about Michael. We were extremely close. I was so proud of him and love him dearly. Im a vendor and when my son was small he always accompanied me on my road trips during the summer. I always tried to make the trips interesting for him. We actually me the American Chopper guys before they became famous. My route took me past the original shop in Montgomery, NY. I miss Michael's beautiful smile, his easy going manner, his wit and one liners, his crazy sense of humor. I sometimes feel that I can't breath when I realize that I wont see my son again in this lifetime. My heart is broken and my spirt shattered.

If You Had a Chance to Say One More Thing to Your Angel What Would It Be?

Sweetheart, please forgive me for not understanding your struggle and what you went through. I love you baby and miss you so much. I wish God would take me so that I could be with you. Unfortunately, I learned more of my son's addiction after he was gone and regret that I didnt help him more.

Almost 3 months to the day he was clean, I came home to find him gone.

2014/06/07 - Greg Bradley - Age 36 yrs - Bartlett, Tennessee

Submitted by: Andrea Bradley - Sibling

Name: Greg Bradley
State:  Tennessee, 38134
Date of Passing: 06/07/2014
Date of Birth: 05/03/1978
Age: 36 

Tell Us About Them:

Greg was the best big brother a girl could ask for and an even better uncle to my baby girl. He loved sports, the Memphis Tigers and Grizzlies, along with the Atlanta Braves. He loved playing video games. He was my families protector, a best friend to many, and my best friend.

Tell Us About Their Struggles With Addiction:

My brother dealt with alot of emotional pain throughout his life, mostly due to his weight. He suffered from depression and you could always tell when he was off his medicine. I wasn't made aware of his heroin usage until May 3rd, 2013, when his best friend called and told me while I was living in Nashville. Unfortunately, I couldn't do anything from that far away so I called my Daddy. They confronted my brother and he told them he had only tried it a few times and he did not have a problem. After that he didn't speak to me for months. Thankfully we made up before he passed, yet I was never sure he was using. I would ask questions and try to get him to slip up and tell me, but he never would. Below is my story of the night I realized how right I was, he was still using.

Below you will see the story of the night I lost my brother to a heroin overdose. I'm trying to help as many people as I can and was hoping you could share this story on your page. 

On June 7th, 2014, at 8:36 pm, my life was forever changed. I had just moved back to Memphis from Nashville with my 3 yr old daughter. That night I heard my Mom banging on my brothers door. He didn't respond and I could hear the fear in her voice. I ran out of my room and banged on the door as loud as I could while my Mom and I both yelled for him. My 3 yr old daughter was standing right in between us. After trying to kick the locked door open, I grabbed the key and opened the door to my worst nightmare. My brother, lying on the floor, face first, unresponsive. My first instinct was to grab my daughter and take her away, while instructing my Mom to call 911. I locked my daughter in my Dad's office and ran back to my brothers room. My mom then threw the phone at me not able to talk and told me to tell the 911 operator she saw a needle near him. At this time, my dad was already in my brothers room trying to flip him over so he could perform cpr. My brother was a big guy and my dad struggled to flip him over. I somehow found the strength to flip him over and my Dad began cpr. At this time, I witnessed my father punching my brothers chest, hoping to give his heart life as I was wiping the foam out of his mouth and yelling at the 911 operator. While I was wiping the foam away, he bit my finger, then the paramedics arrived. After they arrived, I got my daughter and took her outside, away from the madness. The paramedics worked on him for atleast two hours, and my Mom, Dad and I had hope for those 2 hours that everything was going to be okay. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. On June 7th, 2014, my life, my daughters life, my parents lives changed forever. I lost my brother, my daughter lost her uncle, and my parents lost their son. The pain of losing him is something that we all deal with daily. Including my now 5 yr old who still thinks her Uncle Greg is going to show up anytime. I want addicts to understand they can seek help. My brother was too proud, he thought he was invincible. He wanted to stop but heroin, his pride, and his addiction didn't allow that to happen. I pray that those using, who want to stop, will do it. If they need help, there are so many options out there. Don't put your family through the pain and suffering we live with and will live with the rest of our lives. 

I'm sorry for the long message. It's something that is always there though and after seeing your page, I wanted to thank you. I'm not sure if getting my experience out there will help others, but I feel I need to do something.

What Made Them Smile?

His niece Ella! Greg adored his niece. Time with friends and family, he was always the one joking around.

What Do You Miss the Most About Them?

EVERYTHING!!!! I miss everything about him.

If You Had a Chance to Say One More Thing to Your Angel What Would It Be?

State:  New York, 14224
Date of Passing: 01/22/2016
Date of Birth: 03/27/1991
Age: 24 

Tell Us About Them:

Cory had a sense of humor and personality that could make literally anyone and everyone love him. His smile and his hug could make any sad day better. He was only 24 when he was taken from us, and he had so many big hopes and dreams for his life. I have never in my life met anyone quite like Cory, and I know I never will. He was one of a kind, and that is why he was so special to everyone who knew him.

Tell Us About Their Struggles With Addiction:

Cory struggled with addiction for about 10 years. He went to multiple programs, detoxes, and even jail quite a few times. Sometimes it would stick for a few days. Sometimes a month. But, unfortunately, his addiction took his life when he was 2 months sober. He wanted a better life. He hated his addiction. He knew he had a problem, and he knew he needed help. Everyday I wish he could have just one more chance. Just one more chance to make his life everything he wanted it to be.

What Made Them Smile?

Cory loved his family. His mom was his world. He was so protective over her. Same with his little sister. He loved playing music with his dad. They had a complicated relationship, but music was the one thing that brought them together, and Cory loved every second of that. Cory loved helping people. He loved making people laugh. He tried to hide it with his tough guy personality, but he had such a big heart and despite his addiction, he would do anything for those he loved.

What Do You Miss the Most About Them?

I miss his smile. I miss him holding me and always protecting me. I miss hearing him say "I love you." I miss his laugh, and his goofy sense of humor. The way you couldn't stay mad at him because he always knew exactly what to do or say to make you laugh. I just miss being able to call him and talk for hours. I miss picking him up and going to sit by the water, laying together and talking. I miss talking about our future and listening to his ideas for what he was going to do. I miss listening to him talk to his mom. He really loved her. I just miss my Cory. He was my constant for a long time, and I'm just not sure where to go from here.

If You Had a Chance to Say One More Thing to Your Angel What Would It Be?

I love you. You are loved by SO MANY people. You can get through this. I'm sorry for not coming to see you, but I thought I was doing what was best. But I thought I had forever to come see you again. But if I had to sum up what I'd say to him in ONE sentence if I had the chance, it would be- "I told you you were my always and forever, so I'll always love you, until the day we meet again."

Tell Us About Them:

Alex was a very talented girl. She was a talented artist and could play guitar and had a beautiful voice. She had graduated with a BA from SUNY Oneonta. She majored in music industry. Alex had a quick wit and a great sense of humor.
Alex is missed by many. I'll never get used to her being gone. I miss her so much.

Tell Us About Their Struggles With Addiction:

Alex suffered from anxiety and depression and had started taking Xanax which her doctor prescribed in higher and higher doses. She was on them for over 4 years. She changed doctors and they were trying to wean her off of them. She told me that that was when she started using heroin because it made her feel better. She told us she was addicted to heroin 2 weeks before she died. We got her into detox and she seemed good when she got out. We knew nothing about addiction and didn't know how hard it is to get away from. She gave me a hard time about asking her if she what she was doing so I gave her space which was a big mistake. She walked out of detox with nothing except a referral to outpatient care. She got an appointment for 5 days later. When she went they wanted the name of her psychiatrist and she wouldn't give it because she would loose her Xanax which she said she couldn't live without

What Made Them Smile?

Alex loved animals. Especially cats. She would have been a crazy cat lady someday. She loved music and going to concerts. She loved hanging out with her friends.

What Do You Miss the Most About Them?

I miss her coming home and coming through the door and saying 'hey'. I miss her sense of humor and talking to her.

If You Had a Chance to Say One More Thing to Your Angel What Would It Be?

I would tell her how talented she was and how much I loved her.

Tell Us About Their Struggles With Addiction:

A.J.'s addiction started with pills, hanging out with all the wrong people that got him face to face with heroin. I would say he experimented with drugs for 10 years total, but depended on heroin for 5 years. A.J. was in and out of rehab 3 times and one 3 month stint in jail. Nothing seemed to stick. Finally, November 2015, after landing himself in the hospital, A.J. moved in with our father and found God again. He was baptized, and all felt right with the world. Then February 2, 2016, we got the phone call.... That dreadful phone call no one ever wants to receive. Heroin laced with fentanyl, accidental overdose.

I had never dealt with addiction in my life. I had no idea how to handle loving someone with an addiction. I'm sorry if I hurt you in any way, which I know I did. If I could do things over with the knowledge that I have now I would. Your Daughter has your bright blue eyes and looks like you a lot and not a day goes by that I don't think about you.
