Devon struggled with social anxiety and was diagnosed ADHD at 14 years old. He was put on Adderall but quickly taken off as mom, Jeanette, didn’t like the way it changed his personality. Devon says the feeling of Adderall was the catalyst to the self-medication he turned to in later years. Devon struggled on and off for years but made the choice to become clean in 2020. His instead turned to the gym, basketball and nature to keep his mind and body health but unfortunately struggling with the weight of the pandemic, he decided to buy Percocet to help him sleep.

The pill was from a dealer he trusted but turned out to be straight Fentanyl (4mg) and killed him instantly. He was 23 years old.
