Tom, it has been seven years since you left us. I wish I could hear your voice, sit with you, and give you one more hug.

You were kind, thoughtful, and deeply loyal to the people you loved. You had such passion for martial arts, welding, and your guitar, and you gave your all to the things that mattered to you.

I don’t want to remember how you died, but for the person you were—your kindness, your passions, and the love you gave.

I often wonder what you would be like today and what you might be doing. Losing you changed me forever, but I have learned to carry your absence with me into the future.

Seven years later, you are in my thoughts constantly, and forever deeply loved. I miss you more than words can say.

Until I see you again, my beautiful boy. ❤️

Justin, Tracey, Christie, Hilary and Andreas: all of your deaths happened because of egregious policy failures. As long as I draw breath I will continue to fight to regulate all substances and to extinguish stigma. If you had access to pharmaceutical grade medicine when you needed it, you would still be with us. RIP. I miss you.

I lost my spouse of 4 years on July 14, 2026. He was an amazing person who was trying to change his life. In his honor I am in the process of starting to help with this awful disease.

My first experience with fatal overdose was Dec 21/2016 when my 16 year old daughter's good friend, Beth, tragically passed from fentanyl overdose. Even now, almost 10 years later, I type this with tears as Beth was such a bright star - always happy & upbeat - lit up every room she entered. Then I pause to reflect on all the clients (I work at Seven Oaks) that have been lost to toxic drugs - too many lives cut short. RIP Beth and all those lost to overdoses.

I didn't know you were gone, its been so long since I heard your laugh and watched you eyes light up when you talked about being an uncle.
