I lost my one and only sibling, my big brother Jeff to an overdose on June 1st 2018 … he was living out of state in a sober living home and was moving home after being there a few months. On his way home he stopped to his dealer before seeing any of us. I hadn’t seen my brother for 2 months before he died because he was living far away and that’s why he came home he missed us too, and missed the beach. Jeff loves fishing, cooking, mocular biology, bees, adventures, the ocean!!! He was the smartest person to me and I looked up to him very much. He was 30 years old and been on and off heroin for a little over 10 years. He was really hopeful about his recovery but it shows how strong this stuff can be and alter someone’s mind. The grief is very hard to get through and I know if he was still here he would still be in pain fighting this addiction everyday. For awhile you’d look At him and never know he was an addict. My advice to people and families is go after the dealers!!!! Do NOT be scared to face them and call the police. We are currently in the middle of a case because we perused the dealer and she got caught. If these innocent addicts have to loose their lives, their dealers should too by serving life in prison. This epidemic needs to stop by stopping the suppliers!!!
