FENTANYL KILLS - Jamie Evans' Story - episode 237

Debbie Evans of Woodbridge, Virginia, shares her story of losing her 34-year-old son, Jamie Evans, to illicit fentanyl in 2020. James Oliver Evans was her firstborn and her best friend—a funny, kind-hearted young man with a deep love for the Washington Capitals and a knack for computers. His addiction began after surviving a traumatic shooting at age 16, when he was prescribed powerful painkillers that led to dependency. Despite multiple rehab attempts and moments of hope, Jamie struggled to stay clean, influenced by toxic friendships and an under-resourced treatment system. Debbie vividly remembers his joyful moments, their close bond, and the daily pain of living without him. She now honors his memory by drawing portraits of children lost to fentanyl, including Jamie, in heavenly scenes. Through her art, her Facebook page, and a book in progress, she works to preserve his legacy and raise awareness, urging parents and young people to understand the deadly risks of fentanyl. Her grief is raw and enduring, but so is her love for Jamie, whom she describes as a good person undone by addiction—not defined by it.
